Things to do in Providence

George Mirza · 01-16-2012, 09:59 PM

Here are a few things going on in the capitol city of RI on Banquet weekend.

International Auto Show at the convention center, this is next door to the Westin and is a pretty good show.

Providence Bruins playing at the Dunkin Donuts Center Friday 7 pm. Walking distance from the Westin.

At Trinity Rep (this is a play house) they are performing The Merchant of Venice.

Don't forget to check out the Imax Theater in the Providence Place Mall.

If you like to ice skate, there is the outdoor ice rink just across the street, they event rent skates.

There are some great places to eat also, if you can't find something downtown then just head up the street to Federal Hill and you'll find some of the best fine dining in New England.

Are there any good Italian bakeries close by the hotel?

Dave,
Here is a link to the Bakeries in Federal Hill, which is right up the street from the Westin just across the highway. Pastiche's is great place...........small but worth the wait
