New England - Rhode Island

Brown University

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Leaving Newport, head back north on Routes 114 and 136 to I-195 into Providence. With a concerned effort to bring back the ambiance of yesteryear, Providence is quickly becoming one of New England’s most popular cities because of its historical charm. This is the capital city of Rhode Island. Three rivers weave a course through the heart of town and segment the key districts: the university quarter, the business, convention center and mall, and the seat of government with its Capitol Building and State House. The educational institutions of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design are located in a tree-shaded, residential neighborhood where there are many small cafés, bookstores, and little shops.
