Nothing says Sunday morning like a luxurious brunch in the capital city. Indulge in your favorite breakfast food, order up a round of mimosas and ease into the day at one of Providence's favorite brunch destinations.
Brunch is the ultimate meal for all occasions. Whether you're fueling up for the day ahead or recovering from the night before, check out some of the best spots in the Providence area to combine two of the best meals of the day. Providence's two newest hotels aren't just a place to spend the night…
Head out on a guided tour and walk off some of those brunch calories. Explore Providence's rich history with tours covering art and architecture, Prohibition-era stories, or both historic and spooky tours of Benefit Street, one of New England's best-preserved colonial neighborhoods.
Prefer to move at your own pace? Check out our self-guided walking tours featuring historic sites, Latino and Caribbean businesses and even a collection of movie filming locations around the city. Best of all, they're easily accessible right from your phone.
Did you know that tickets to theatrical performances at Trinity Rep and Broadway shows at the Providence Performing Arts Center are often less expensive on Sunday nights? Use that savings to treat yourself to dinner at one of the city's restaurants.
Art lovers will want to head to the RISD Museum, where admission is free every Sunday. Explore their collection of everything from ancient artifacts to contemporary media. Or download The Avenue Concept's app and discover Providence's public art.
More of a sports fan? Check the Providence Bruins schedule at the Amica Mutual Pavilion. Their Sunday afternoon games are a great opportunity to see up-and-coming players before they head to Boston.
Have dinner out at one of the many restaurants around the city. Try the Sunday Supper Club special at Cassarino's on Federal Hill. At just $42.95 for a three-course prix fixe menu, you can't afford not to! Make a night of it and explore our collections of where to find the best cocktails, mocktails and live music around Providence.
Keep the brunch vibes going at Patio on Broadway or hit the breakfast buffet at the Bluefin Grille, the Providence Marriott Downtown's in-house restaurant. Not into a big breakfast? Get your Monday morning caffeine fix at one of the city's best coffee shops, handpicked by the GoProvidence staff.
One of my favorite things about Providence is that we have one of the highest number of coffee shops per capita in the country. At last count, that's about 23 coffee shops per 100,000 people, which makes it the perfect place to celebrate National Coffee Day on Sept. 29. But with a cafe on just about…
Do a little local shopping while you're here. Visit Craftland, The Landing or Frog & Toad for one-of-a-kind gifts and Rhode Island souvenirs that capture the Ocean State's unique character. Take a spin around the Providence Rink or head to Gather Glass to make your own ornament, pint glass or vase. Test your problem-solving skills at Level 99, Providence's interactive entertainment venue. Or just take a stroll along the RiverWalk and discover why Providence was recently named the "2nd most walkable city in the U.S." by USA Today's 10 Best.
