The small businesses on the Arcade ground floor have been hurt tremendously by the declining number of office workers in downtown Providence (and then Covid.) Back in the day that place was hopping at lunch. It was a pleasant & lively environment.

I hope it can bounce back as viable commercial spaces on the ground floor. The wrap place, the little food spots, and that coffee whiskey place were all cool.

Definitely go to each of the great main streets and see what “vibes”/people suit you as a way of figuring out where to live. Changing it up each day for morning coffee is a good way to do it.

-Hope Street in Hope (Little Sister and Seven Stars) -Wickenden Street and Ives Street in Fox Point (The Shop and Coffee Exchange) -Westminster Street downtown (Bolt or Little City) -Broadway/West Fountain on the west side (Seven Stars or Nitro Bar) -Westminster and Dexter Park in the west end (Hudson Street Deli or Sin) -Atwells Ave in Frderal Hill (er not much for morning coffee. But Broadway is nearby)

Tilt (and Aladdins Castle) was where I spent most my High School days. Then TGA. None of these are around anymore…

It’s a barcade though, 21+ except on family days (which seem to be every-other Sunday).

Take the kids to D&B, which is still only ~15 minute walk from The Arcade.
