I don't fish but was a scout leader for years. Yes, season opens on April 8th. Best fishing is opening weekend and there will be people there at daybreak, but there should be good fishing throughout the spring. Stocked fish is safe but consider any native fish to be toxic. Groundwater in RI is bad. I believe you can get a fishing license at walmart or anywhere that sells gear. That used to be the case. If your kid catches their first fish, make sure you order the First Fish Award.

The RI DEM website has a lot of good advice for families.

There are coyotes in Providence, so yea, they are in NK. I don't believe there have been any verified sightings of wolves in the wild in southern New England in decades.

There are comedy open mics all over the place. Rick's in Woonsocket on Wednesdays, Pub on Park in Cranston on Mondays, Brooklyn Pizza in Providence on Thursdays, and, of course Askew, which is a real nice place. Search for Rhode Island Comedy Open Mics in Facebook.

Music and comedy open mics are usually in bars. That's part of their economic model. I wouldn't rule a bar out. Anyhow, there are comedy open mics all around the metropolitan area, but I don't know of any specifically on the Pawtucket line. There's Copperfield's in Johnston (Tuesdays), Pub on Park in Cranston (Mondays), Park Place Cafe in Cranston (Wednesdays), Town Pub in EP (Thursdays), and others. Most will have music open mics on other nights.

I suggest you rent a hotel room for three days and spend the time visiting various neighborhoods to get a feel for them. Also, many people do live outside the city.

Nobody eggs houses anymore. They will start before sundown and continue until maybe 9. I'm not far away. We get a lot of kids who drive other neighborhoods, making the roads busier than they should be.
