Definitely a must! India Point Park.

Drive to East St to near the south end of it and park. Then walk across the pedestrian bridge (has a spectacular view of Providence Harbor) and walk to the right to the Community boathouse, and begin by reading the history plaque there.

Turn around to face east and walk the entire coast of the park reading the 10 or so historical plaques. It's the entire history of Providence, the first colonial settlement in RI.

When you reach the end at Brown Boathouse, circle back just a bit to Narragansett Brewery with outdoor tables, dogs allowed.

Then make your way a couple blocks inland to Ives St. Lots of tiny eateries and cafes there to choose from. From there you'll be a few blocks from your car.

Looks like Sunday will be the better day, weather-wise. Enjoy!
