Where to go on a date in Rhode Island
Providence’s Federal Hill is the city’s Italian neighborhood, and dinner here is always a memorable experience. WaterFire, the city’s signature art installation on the rivers, turns a regular evening into something magical when the braziers are lit. In Newport, the Cliff Walk gives you ocean views and mansion architecture on a path that practically begs for conversation. Thames Street has wine bars, seafood spots and enough charm for several return visits. For a daytime outing, the Narragansett beaches or a visit to the coastal village of Wickford offer simplicity and scenery without needing a big plan. Block Island, reachable by ferry, gives you a car-free island experience with beaches, bluffs and quiet roads perfect for biking together.
