Food
As a nexus for many cultures, Providence has a myriad of cuisines to offer: from tradition Italian to Puerto Rican to Cambodian fare. Hop on the RIPTA trolley to Federal Hill for traditional Italian food or head downtown for an eclectic variety. Located in the heart of Brown’s campus, Thayer Street also offers many options from sit-down sushi to fast falafels. Wickenden Street, a short walk bordering the south of Campus, opens up the options even more: lots of international cuisine and of course, good old Coffee Exchange.
