This neighborhood is probably half the reason people even visit the city of Providence. Also known as Little Italy, this is a fantastic place to hunt down eateries, art galleries, a diverse range of shops, and events and festivals throughout the year.

On your tour of federal hill, keep an eye out for the following highlights:

• The La Pigna sculpture on Gateway arch over Atwells Avenue.
• Squares: Garibaldi Square, DePasquale Plaza, John's Park, Ridge Street Playground and Franciscan Park.
• The many excellent restaurants on Atwell’s avenue.
• Church of St Mary On Broadway.
• India Museum & Heritage Society
• Royal Gallery

But the neighborhood is probably best enjoyed at night time, even though they aren't exactly many nightclubs or discos in the area, there are a plethora of excellent restaurants and bars. It’s the city’s favourite neighborhood for a date!
