<p>Visit Federal Hill, which is the “Little Italy” section. It’s walkable from the mall. Walk on Benefit Street and admire the architecture. Walk all over campus. Twice. Eat pizza at Antonio’s on Thayer Street. Get a cookie at Meeting Street Cafe. If you can get to breakfast at Rue D’Espoir on Hope Street, DO IT. Go to the John Brown House if it’s open. Ditto on the RISD museum, a real treat. Go to the Cable Car movie theater and sit on sofas to watch your film. I don’t know much about the bar and club scene (I’m a parent and would rather not know), but Wickenden and Westminister Street probably hop. And my two favorite all-time things are slightly out of town, but a short drive: Roger Williams Park and the Johnson and Wales museum. The last one is a trip and a half!</p>
