r/providence

Was just at the fireworks at India point park and all of a sudden everyone in the crowd got up and ran. People shouted something was going on and the entire crowd just ran???

Coming to providence for lunch on Tuesday but I haven’t lived there since 2014 so most of my former spots are gone from what I can tell. Need recs for places I can go for a nostalgia kick or something new and interesting.

My wife and I are headed to Newport for her sister’s birthday in early August. We’ll be flying into Providence on a Thursday night, landing at 9:45pm. We’re staying in town and picking up our car from the airport the next morning.

At most, we would just want to see what downtown looks like and catch a late night meal, but we’re open to staying on property at the airport and calling it a night too.

What would you guys do if you were in our shoes? Is there maybe a good late-night restaurant within walking distance of a decent hotel you can recommend? By the time we get downtown and check into the hotel, I doubt we’ll be able to be at any restaurant before 10:30pm.

All advice and suggestions appreciated!

Edit: thanks everyone for the advice. Lots of good info here! Sorry I didn’t get back to everyone, but I did read all the comments. Seems like it’s 50/50 for the most part. We’re leaning towards heading into downtown and staying at a hotel there. We may never make it back to Providence (or at least it could be a very long time); it would be a shame to not even see it.

Hi all, my roommate immigrated here for work but he is deeply missing his family and his roots. Would appreciate if anyone knows a Georgian community nearby. He’s from the country Georgia (not the state).

Thank you so much in advance~

we were watching the fireworks and everyone started sprinting, was there a shooter??

Hi everyone. My neighbor’s dog has been barking all day. Is there a number I can call to report it to the city?

Thank you

Title says it all! I want to watch the Mexico vs England game tonight but i’m not sure where to go. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone! I’m going downtown tonight and was wondering if it was going to be hard to get an uber around like 9/10. I wasn’t sure if the fireworks would make it hard to get one
