There's a place where you can kayak; it's only five dollars for a half-hour.
There's also a lot of grassy areas for hanging out, resting, playing soccer, enjoying a romantic evening. Perhaps you could bring a picnic basket, a bottle of wine, maybe some cheese - I prefer gouda, smoked.
"Bad Bad" Leroy Francis, SaxophonistI think I'm the only saxophone player they got licensed to play in the great city of Providence. Licensed: so they won't say I panhandle.
I come up here on Thayer Street every now and then, but my main spot is Pine Street, back of Lupo's and Dunkin' Donuts. That's my perimeter.
I make a few tips. I play on the outside like I'm playing right now. I change a bologna sandwich into a steak sandwich. I'm the one they call "Bad Bad" Leroy Jones."
Matthew Strickland '09There's a lot to do off campus. My favorite restaurant is Cuban Revolution. Aside from that there's the basic local things, there's nightclubs downtown - Bravo, the Red Room.
Honestly, it's sad because a lot of Brown students throughout their four years don't go off of campus. There's are so many different concerts at Lupo's - that's one of my favorite venues, and the Living Room is really cool.
Natasha Haverty '08To eat, I like to get breakfast at Julian's on Sunday. Maybe for a good dinner, after class I walk down to Empire Street, AS220, get some quesadillas at Taqueria Pacifica, catch a concert at AS220.
If I've got a car, then I'll drive to Jamestown and stand on the rocks, look at the ocean and feel like a pilgrim. I like to go to the Trinity Rep if I can afford it. The last thing I saw was "A Delicate Balance." I like to explore Federal Hill when I'm around Julian's."
Dorothy Koveal GSThere are a lot of things to do in Providence. Food-wise there's a really good ice creamery called Three Sisters that's down Hope Street. It's really nice to just sit on their couches and relax.
In the season, you can also go berry-picking at Jazzwell Farms, which is a really nice place.
Apart from that, if you're interested in music, you could go to Lupo's. It's an okay venue, and sometimes they have really good bands come in that you can listen to."
