Consistently delicious, oberlin_pvd never disappoints! Perfect spot to just sit at the bar for a few small plates on a summer night. Looking forward to doing it again, because their Chitarra Cacio e Pepe has my heart ❤️❤️❤️. Also, Oberlin was just named to eater`s "Essential New England Restaurants", well deserved!

Lets Keep Downtown Providence Parks Vibrant Together

Support DPPN

Join us in preserving and enhancing the Downtown Providence Park Network (DPPN)

Because of you… our parks live forever. 💚

Downtown belongs to the people who walk through it every day; the friends meeting up, the families strolling, the quiet moments on a bench, and the energy of shared city life. Thanks to your support, our parks and public spaces remain open, welcoming, and vibrant for everyone.

From art and light installations to concerts, cultural celebrations, and wayfinding that tells our story, your support helps bring downtown to life — season after season.

As grant funding tightens, individual support matters more than ever. If you’re able, consider making an end-of-year gift to keep these spaces thriving for all who call Providence home.

Thank you for an incredible 2025! here’s to 2026.
