A year-round area attraction; the site of many cultural festivals hosted by Providence’s various non-profit organizations. It is easily accessed from the India Point Park Walking Bridge that spans from George M. Cohan Boulevard across the I-195 highway. The walking bridge runs parallel to Wickenden Street, and George M. Cohan Boulevard offers plenty of parking for Wickenden Street’s many businesses.
Back on Wickenden Street, you can travel through the generations of Americana at a third-generation family owned store that offers everything under the sun, from old-fashioned wooden washboards and aluminum wash-tubs to high-end, custom-tinted paint. It’s the kind of place where if it has something to do with home-goods or hardware and Adler’s doesn’t sell it, it most likely doesn’t exist. It can be fun to simply browse the aisles and explore all that there is to see and, more often than not, you will see students from the Rhode Island School of Design shopping for project supplies, before heading across the street to Fellini's Pizzeria for a slice or two of freshly made thin-crust pizza (traditional or gourmet options, such as Philly Cheese Steak or Buffalo Chicken!) or freshly made canolli, a delicious Sicilian pastry.
After a night out or when you’re in need of something quick check out Pizza Pie-er. The name is self-explanatory, but it doesn’t say how amazing their pizza is, ranging by whole pizza or by the slice. You can even create your own pizza with their eclectic and delicious toppings, ranging from conventional cheese or pepperoni to meat, turkey, baked potato, bacon, vegetables, peppers, ham, pineapple and even a wide variety of cheeses. There are 10 sauces to choose from and 5 types of crust. The possibilities are not only delicious, but virtually endless. You can even order online!
New York-style, thin-crust pizza with creative toppings. Boasting an open-area kitchen, patrons of Fellini's can watch the pizza dough being stretched by hand the old-fashioned way – by being thrown up into the air and caught on the way down. It makes for quite a show! In business since 1989, Fellini’s consistently ranks among Rhode Island Monthly magazine’s Best of Rhode Island. Fun atmosphere, for kids and kids at heart due to the pinball machines. Awesome specials, specifically at Thanksgiving time, which is when they offer a one-time-a-year Thanksgiving style pizza. Free delivery for Providence area.
Traditional Japanese cuisine and fresh sushi, in true Japanese style.. Large selection of specialty rolls. The staff is very friendly although some are hard to understand. It can get very busy and sometimes the only available in the dining room where you must sit on the floor at the tables. You usually find a lot of college students in this dining room, they don't mind it. BYOB. Meals $6-20.
A small but cozy Indian restaurant which specializes in curry dishes and authentic appetizers. Authentic India Food with a seven days a week lunch buffet. Vegan friendly, and also offers Gluten-free menu items. Price range $2-$35.
Breakfast is served until 4PM and they have an outdoor patio. The cozy atmosphere also has an art gallery with local work on display.
A very family-oriented restaurant. Serves breakfast, which is available all day, and lunch. The wait can be long on a weekend morning, but it is worth it for the chocolate chip and banana pancakes. If savory is your thing, you can’t go wrong with one of their unique omelets. Reasonable prices and has brunch on Sundays.
A family-owned sandwich shop where you will find the food a tad on the expensive side, but worth it for the quality of their products and the non-commercial atmosphere.
Very affordable Moroccan appetizers, smoothies, and paninis. Hookahs, with a variety of flavors, are also served. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly servers. Free WiFi provided.
Tastes from every culture imaginable, serving over 99 beers from around the world (but no food; they do not have a kitchen, so it is strongly suggested that you dine before you stop in for a pint or several!).
Voted the number 1 coffee shop on the East Coast, it’s one of the most popular spots for coffee. It’s a neighborhood favorite with their organic coffee. All coffee purchases support environmental sustainability and all decafs are water pressed, no chemicals. It is the founder of Coffee Kids, international non profit organization to help coffee-farming families in Mexico, Central America and South Africa to improve the quality of their lives. Their coffees range from African, Latin American, and interesting blends such as Sante Fe, Cochabamba, and Mel’s Private Stock. The Coffee Exchange is also a great place to relax and break up your day as you can sit outdoors on the patio overlooking the street or sit inside in the warm, cozy artistic setting adorned with graffiti and art on the walls.
Bar opens at 4PM most days, 5PM on the weekends. Stays open until 1AM Sunday-Wednesday, 2AM Thursday-Saturday. The Wild Colonial was once named “One of the 50 best bars in America” by Esquire Magazine and has continued to enjoy wild success since it opened. The aesthetic of the bar is absolutely incredible (mostly brick, hardwood tables), and that helps it maintain an old-English style atmosphere. You can play billiards and darts, the beer selection is phenomenal, and the food is very good. All in all, it’s a great place for a long night out.
The outside bar overlooks the water, which is nice in the summer. Decently priced drinks, featuring $2 Gansetts.
For those who still know what an LP record is.
NAVA stands for New And Vintage Apparel, which is exactly what you'll find, along with accessories and housewares.
This is for the men who want to walk into an office and have people say, “I thought he was just the intern, but he must have gotten a promotion.” Yeah, those guys.
