Amtrak Northeast Regional

Pros: Comfortable and convenient. I purchased food at Providence Train Station and the service was excellent. Lots of leg room and no aches after 3 hours 15 minutes! Liked the convenience of an e-ticket too. Cons: Wifi! I really wanted to get some work done but couldn't...brutal lag times and very slow speeds. This should be an easy fix. Tips: The Providence train station, while a bit dodgy looking and scruffy, was safe Penn Street in New York could stand a week of scrubbing!!! Plus, I got played by a pretend cabbie...don't allow yourself to be picked up by some person claiming to be a private company/taxi operator. 'Rookie' error...I must be part rube I guess. Absolute rip off...mind you, the first yellow cab I got into booted me out because they didn't want to drive to Brooklyn. I'm now an avowed Uber user...

Amtrak Northeast Regional

Pros: More room than a bus, stations convenient to where I live and my destination. Feels safer than a bus and no hassle like a car. Cons: Cleanliness. The seats smelled like BO. WiFi was slow and patchy. Trains are OK but aging. Tracks are rough and train cars were bumping and vibrating like a bus at times. Tips: Buy the flex pass and travel insurance. I experienced a multi-hour delay because a tree branch fell on the tracks.

Though some might say that it is overshadowed by nearby Boston, Providence is an interesting destination on its own. A quaint college town with a deep historical value, Providence allows fans of U.S. history to marvel at historic buildings such as the ones on Benefit Street, which boasts the highest concentration of Colonial houses. As you stroll around the streets of Providence at night, don’t forget to take a detour to WaterFire, a sculpture project that features bonfires along the rivers of Providence. Accompanying the bonfires are the sounds of ceremonial gongs and various music programs, which brighten up the night. For those seeking a unique cultural experience, the Federal Hill quarter sits among the most famous Little Italian neighborhoods, and it features some of the best Italian restaurants in town.

The staple dish of Providence is oysters, which are not difficult to find in the city. However, if you can endure a short drive, Matunuck Oyster Bar, an oyster restaurant located 40 miles south of South Kingstown, provides some of the freshest and most delicious oysters around. Some other notable establishments include Birch, Oberlin, and Tallulah’s Taqueria.

The Providence airport is located in nearby Warwick which is only a 6 miles’ drive from the city.
