Air Travel - The closest airport to the Clarion Inn and our venue is T.F. Green in Providence. We recommend you take a 15min Lyft from the airport to get to the hotel.
Amtrak/Commuter RailTrain - If you're taking a train to Providence, the station is right downtown and only a 10min Lyft ride to the hotel.
Annie and Matt have spent some time in Providence over the years and have some great places to recommend:
Restaurants
Knead Doughnuts - If you like gourmet donuts, then we recommend you check out Knead. We'll be serving PVDonuts at our wedding, so you'll be able to decide what's the best in the area.
Julian's Providence - If you want pitchers of mimosas and bellinis and the best eggs benedict around then find your way to Julian's. There might be a wait but the staff does a good job a moving the line.
Ogie's Trailer Park - Great local spot at night for good beers and ridiculous food. Try the fried pb & fluff sandwiches and tater tots.
Los Andes - Make a reservation. This Bolivian spot is usually busy but the food is worth it.
Breweries
Long Live - A variety of IPAs on tap in an inviting spot.
The Guild - This place has a nice selection of their own beers and carries some other local brews. They typically have a food truck on the patio so this is a nice spot for lunch.
Fun/Sightseeing
Brown University - The grounds around Brown are a great place to walk around.
The River - Providence has a wonderful riverwalk that run through the downtown.
