Visit the coast line if you can. Narragansett, Jamestown, Newport, Little Compton are a few towns/cities along the coast in RI worth checking out. Lots of good places to eat in the area as well. Obviously seafood is a big one but all kinds of stuff can be had around here. Most of the better food is not from places you may have seen on tv or from food review shows. Ask the locals. RI is a small state and you can drive it in a couple hours. It encompasses all kinds of people in a relatively small area.

There's a bit of a coffee shop desert at the far edge of Oak Hill in Pawtucket before you get to 95, although there's a lot of residents there that would love one (I know Wildflour exists, but I'm talking further from that plaza). There is a 'for lease' sign on two little storefronts around 420 Pawtucket Ave. that I've always wished were a tiny coffee bar. Bonus: it's just around the corner from where Butterbang opened up shop. And honestly, there might be other available spots on Pawtucket Ave.

You might want to consider starting an Ego tool collection. Their chainsaw is pretty solid if you're not doing anything too heavy duty, and the fact all of the equipment shares the same batteries makes it attractive.
