It looks like a lot of campgrounds, Audubon nature reserves, state parks, and the only major city is Providence which is museums and food.
Throw a rock from one side of the state to the other, can probably make it in one good throw
Do you want to help me split wood?
I’m not strong.
You will be once done.
It’s more mental than physical.
How’s your wood?
Almost all cut, but there is still so much splitting to do.
Are you coming back to RI?
No, it was a day trip and my job starts up again on Tuesday.
Can you imagine if he said yes and you just split wood with an internet stranger for a day?
The closest that I got was axe throwing.
The Breakers - this is the Rockefeller’s summer home in Newport. It’s open for tours, and though I don’t recall the prices being crazy, it’s definitely been a while.
It’s so ostentatious and over the top, but beautiful, and full of wonderfully made things.
I think it’s interesting to consider our modern billionaire class as equivalents to Rockefeller’s gilded age.
Oh, and while you’re in RI make sure to get a Del’s frozen lemonade.
Go to North Kingstown beach and set up camp in front of this guy’s place
Try to prove it’s actually an island
If you can work it out in your schedule, the Waterfires in Providence are great.
If not, Spikes Junkyard Dogs is amazing. I ate there all the time when I went to uni.
Also Newport is further away but they have brilliant sights.
Or Point Judith.
Sad there is only one Spike’s left
That’s a shame! I remember when I went to Johnson & Wales, I used to walk down to the one near Pine Street (I think)
Sept 9th and 30th are full lightings, and are wonderful
There was one in Allston MA when I lived there about a decade ago
Newport has some interesting shopping. Get some stuffies (stuffed quahog clams) if you like seafood. They should be eaten with a squeeze of lemon and the cheapest vinegar and cayenne hotsauce you can find.
Just wait a minute… Quahog is real?
Do you know the Griffins?
Theres a killer arcade called Freeplay in Providence. One fee <$10 to get in and all the games are set to free play. Great pinball selection if you’re into that. Cheap beer and okish food while you’re there. 21+ most days.
To clarify: only Saturday.
Go to Woonsocket and see a movie at the drive in!
Only thing I know about Rhode Island is that they made chickens there
Hope this helps!
What?
