I've spent a good amount of time in Providence over the past few years (son is a senior at Brown). Best bet in town, food wise, will be found on Federal Hill (around Atwells Avenue). Sometime referred to as Little Italy, there are a number of great, small restaurants, which benefit from the immediate proximity of Johnson & Wales University. It's not really walking distance from the Dunk, but only a short car ride. Best seafood in town, albeit very pricey, is at Hemenway's down by the Providence River. The main street by Brown and RISD is Thayer Street, which has plenty of inexpensive restaurants; I like Andreas, a Greek restaurant with a great breakfast. Can't really tell you about nightlife and bars. . . . This is spot on. I lived in RI for 10 years. Its hard to find a bad spot there. Mediterrenos is one of those places where there are obviously mafia members holding shop eating but the food is out of this world. Someone mentioned Trinty brewhouse which is 1 block from the dunk. I still have my trinity brewhouse beer club ticket lol. Edit see Mediterreos closed 4 months ago lol. Andinos is good as well. Guess I didn't spend enough there last year.
