About RI

Drive a
short distance inland toward the head of Narragansett Bay and you find the city
of Providence, the state’s capital and one of the oldest cities in the U.S. Considered
a more affordable and practicable alternative to nearby Boston and New York, the
city of Providence was recently named "America's Coolest City" by GQ.
Founded
almost four centuries ago, historic landmarks and attractions are abundant
throughout Providence as are several prestigious universities including The Rhode
Island School of Design, Johnston & Wales and Brown University, a
nationally acclaimed Ivy League school.

its borders. With its innovative arts scene, distinctive cuisine, trendy
shopping, thriving nightlife, and miles of stunning beaches, Rhode Island offers
