Will be in the city for a day, what are some quick things to do or see while in town? never been to RI

Submitted by DrProfBlaze t3_yvmynu in providence

In town for a day in a week or so, and looking for something to do while here, will have a few hours at night to find something to do, and my next day is just to see the sights and go home... looking for guidance to not miss anything. I also have a drone if anyone knows the rules on that, I have the apps but municipalities can be tricky.

Thanks in advance.

Weekday or weekend day?

RISD museum comes to mind. If you're a beer drinker you've got the Narragansett Brewery on Tockwotton St; Providence Brewing Company, Revival, and ISCO on Simms Ave; and Moniker and Beer on Earth on West Fountain St. (Simms Ave and West Fountain also have good food options).

And here are the laws surrounding drone use:

Off the top of my head.

Depends on what you're into if you like walking around you could do a historic walking tour, If you've never been to new England places like benefit st have alot of old houses and history.

There's parks, like prospect terrace which has a great view of the city and great sunsets, the east bay bike path if you want to be outside, but it's getting chilly.

Museums like Risd museum, Old house museums like the john brown house, and stuff like roger Williams botanical gardens are fun too.

Besides that food, lots and lots of food. So many restaurants just pick what you're in the mood for. Thayer and Downtown will have the biggest concentration of choices.

I think the terrace park has the best view of the city! Check it out if you find the time
