Roger Williams Park is a beautiful Olmsted-designed, huge park-I highly recommend for dog-friendly Providence visit. I would probably stop at Cafeteria Frias, near there, and get lunch to eat in the park. They have good sandwiches, pastelitos, juice, smoothies. There are a bunch of places on Broad street, which runs along the east side of the park where you can get dominican food to take out.

Ok thanks. Good to hear that I won’t be so limited after all having the dog with us.

As far as driving goes…should I anticipate NY style city driving or more laid back?

Drivers and pedestrians and people on dirt bikes and in those batmobile things can be chaotic in their choices, but it's pretty rare that you run into significant traffic or trouble parking in Providence.

The dirt bike/Batmobile style thing to “regular car” ratio in my neighborhood in NY is about 7 ( Batmobile/dirt bike) to 3 (regular ) so I’m pretty use to all that. It’s beyond excessive in my area though lol and I don’t remember the last time I didn’t have to struggle to find parking so I’m happy to hear that.
