Take the train. I drove to Quincy/North Quincy for 21 years and it SUCKED.

I have friends who commute via Amtrak - you can get tickets on Amtrak cheaper than on MBTA if you plan ahead. And it's a much nicer ride. But MBTA is not bad.

RISD Museum, snack your way around downtown: Jewelery District, Wickenden, Federal Hill. Maybe hop a bus down to Roger Williams Park.

Shaw's NP has 3 bus lines that stop there, so may not be too bad. I know they were hiring recently.

Good luck! I know how hard it is being stuck somewhere you don't want to be.

Jewelery District:

  1. Tiny Bar for cocktails.

  2. Xaco Taco/District/Somo are all excellent food options on the same block. Or go 4 blocks over to Bayberry Garden.

  3. Nick-A-Nees the next block over satisfies the live music and dive bar requirements (not sure about the darts though).

All are within a block of each other except for Bayberry. Parking is tricky but doable, or there are several bus lines in the area.
