Providence, the state’s capital, combines the accessibility and friendliness of a small town but offers abundant cultural, recreational, and modern city amenities of a big city. Providence is home to several nationally recognized institutions including Brown University, Johnson & Wales, Providence College and the Rhode Island School of Design, as well as some of the best eateries and restaurants you’ll find, locally and beyond.
