Two German bloggers visited Providence a while back and bemoaned the lack of things there are to do in the city on a Sunday morning. While most cities certainly aren't at their peak of activity at that time of day or week, there are still plenty of things to do. Here are 17:

1. Start the day with a run or walk along Blackstone Boulevard.
