since my office is close to the river, I spend a lot of time strolling along the waterside walkways during my lunch hours. It's a great way to not only get a bit of exercise in but also get a feel for the city. The layout makes it very pedestrian friendly, especially on the east side, and there's plenty of... More

Visiting Waterfire on the Providence river is a treat. There are numerous venders selling food, beverage and souveneers. My one complaint is that there are not enough places for seniors to sit without having to get a table at a restaurant. Otherwise a great place an evening.

A beautiful walkway along the river in the middle of the city. Close by to restaurants and shopping but peaceful and not commercial.

We took the Lounge Boat ride (new this year) and it was quite magical - I thought it wouldn't compare with the Gondola ride but it was actually just as much fun - perhaps it was the fact that we were sitting at a table on chairs and were high up - you can see more - we needed to... More
