Looking for a fun day trip for February Break?
Here are some of the best things to do near Providence, RI
🥞 Start the day with a stop at The Modern Diner (364 East Ave, Pawtucket) for breakfast or brunch (highly recommend the award-winning Custard French Toast)
🗺️ Then head over to The Map Center (545 Pawtucket Ave, Pawtucket) and check out all the cool maps, books, and globes that Andrew has in his store
⛸️ 10 minutes away is the Providence Rink (2 Kennedy Plaza, Providence) where you can rent skates for an afternoon on the ice, and if you book ahead of time you might even get tickets for the ice bumper cars, which looked like a ton of fun!
🍕Providence Coal Fired Pizza came highly recommended for a vibey pizza stop
🍪 and definitely don’t head home before stopping by Insomnia Cookies (259 Weybosset St, Providence) for a treat for the drive home!
Let me know if you try the ice bumper cars!
Have fun!

By 1983, when this photo was taken, the railroads that had dominated the city for over 100 years were clearly past their prime. These overgrown and elevated train tracks would soon be removed and those that remained pushed underground. The tunnel that these elevated tracks led to would be closed and the bridge across the Seekonk River on the other side of the tunnel would be raised for the last time.
