What other things are there to do in Providence besides the convention?

There are numerous great museums (check out both the RISD Art Museum and the RIHS John Brown House for two of our favorites) and parks, hundreds of top-notch shops and restaurants, and many great adventures to be had exploring Providence and environs while you’re in town for the convention or any other time.

For one great list, check out this listing of free things to do in Providence, courtesy of the Convention and Visitors Bureau.

And, CVB’s “full” list of events and happenings for the spring and summer can be downloaded here.

We’ll add more such helpful lists as we come upon them.

Any good restaurants in downtown Providence? 

There are plenty of them. Within a few blocks of the Graduate and the Omni, you’ll find award winning restaurants to satisfy any taste, especially suited to hungry conventioneers or visitors passing through town.
Providence is very fortunate to have both world-class food options and plenty of alternatives for cheap eats, too. Check out this handy list of places to eat around downtown, provided by our friends at the Convention and Visitors Bureau.

What’s the deal with parking in Providence?
