Xaco Taco
370 Richmond StGreat food and it's favorite for Locals!
The BEST burgers! There are several locations. I would recommend the one over on North Main. Cozy little place. It is the original location and the one over on the hill is more difficult with parking and does not have the same vibe but if you are a larger group I would go over to the one on Federal Hill because this location does not have as much space

If you are looking for something Unique this is the place! Their drinks are great. They are self serve for food so you have to not mind ordering at the window and going to pick it up. They give you a license plate number for your order and call out your state to pick up your order. It really isn't the best for your diet. It is more of unique place to hang with some fun people. Grab a great beverage and have a great time! They also have live music on Sunday where you can bring your favorite furry friend!

This is a popular place for locals. Located in the village it is a nice spot outside of the city. Great staff. The bartenders are super friendly. The Shepard's Pie is awesome and the food portions are huge. In the warmer weather you can sit outside.

10 Memorial BlvdAmazing!!! One of a kind. You feel transported into a little oasis and the food is delicious! They have the best selection of loose leaf tea as well that they serve in full tea pots!
They do have a limited menu so I suggest you google the menu before you go and it is a small venue so I would not recommend for larger groups unless the weather permits and you have more space to sit outside or call ahead

If you are here from the early spring into October on a weekend definitely take in Water Fire and visit the local vendors that set up their tents. The talent from the local artists is amazing. They also offer tours of the RISD museum for free during Waterfire and that is always a treat to see what they may have on rotation

The park is a great place to go for a walk especially if you have a pup. You can go and hang out by the bandstand and have lunch. There are 7 miles of trails in the park and everyone brings their dogs there. It is a great place to walk around and it is safe. We bring Duke here every day.

If you go to the end of the path you end up at the water. It’s a great walk! It’s very rocky at the beach but it is pretty. If you are crafty you can find some nice flat stones for painting!

Great place for two legs and four legs to go for a stroll. Duke loves to walk here!
When you get to the end there is a beach. It’s a very Shelly, rocky beach so little dogs like Dukie have a bit of trouble with the paws at the beach part but the rest of the walk is very pretty and if you are crafty it’s a great place to get some nice flat stones to paint.
