I grew up just across the border in SE Mass and at least half of my relatives were RIers.
If you're eating on Federal Hill, be sure to ask for a table with a view of the door, and if anyone whose middle name starts with 'The' asks you to do something, do it!
Some of my RI favorites include Dell's Frozen Lemonade. I live in LA so I buy the flovor packets when I visit back home and make my own here.
Autocrat coffee-flavored syrup for milk. Good stuff. Had one bottle break in a checked-in bag once and had to throw away half a suitcase full of clothes.
RI clam chowder ['chowduh'] with the clear broth. Not tomato-based Manhattan style or milk-based New England style. Good for you.
If you can find a Newport Creamery, buy an Awful-Awful frappe. It's a milk shake with four or five scoops of ice cream. Drink two and you'll be popping rivets off your jeans like the submarine in Das Boot popped hull rivets.
Find some Portuguese food. Best food on the planet, bar none. It's all over RI. And linguica on a pizza is mighty tasty stuff.
Benefit Street on College Hill near Brown University is a nice walk with several blocks of early-19th century houses.
If you're looking for an after-work scenic drive, you can basically circle Narragansett Bay by driving from Providence on I-195 to Rt 114 through Barrington, Warren, and Bristol. Then across the Mt Hope Bridge to Rts 138 and 138A to Middletown and Newport, then along Ocean Drive to osee the mansion, then across the Newport and Jamestown Bridges to Rt 1A north to the small town of Hamilton (part of North Kingstown) whose main Street is several blocks of early-19th century Federal-style homes, to Wikford, and thenRt 4 and I-95 back to Providence. About 80 miles, total.
