Welcome to Rhode Island: the land of coffee milk, hot wieners, and stuffies. But Providence isn’t just a mecca for peculiar regional favorites. In this bustling small city, just an hour south of Boston, you’ll find so much more: restaurants that could hold their own among hot spots in much larger metropolises; artsy, under-the-radar haunts; and, in recent years, an influx of culinary businesses owned by young female entrepreneurs.
The city’s easy access to farms and the sea, comparatively affordable rents, and creative institutions—particularly Johnson & Wales University’s College of Culinary Arts—are all factors that contribute to making Providence one of the best places to eat in New England and beyond.
