The national media is abuzz about Providence. From The New York Times and USA Today to NBC's Today Show and National Public Radio - Providence is being hailed as a city "reborn." A city with "pizzazz." A "model city." One of America's "most livable and successful urban centers."
As for ambiance and charm, Providence is unmatched. Providence's vast and well-preserved historic architecture is like no other in the country. The entire downtown area is listed on the National Register of Historic Places - the only major city to be so designated. Water taxis, gondolas, kayaks and canoes ply the rivers that cut a swath through the city's shiny financial district to Narragansett Bay.
Horse-drawn carriages usher passengers in and around popular tourist attractions. Coming soon, an outdoor ice skating rink - one that's sure to rival Rockefeller Center's - and a downtown cinema complex. Furthermore, we are one of the best college towns in the nation.
According to one visitor who was quoted recently in the daily press, "Providence has the beauty of Paris, the elegance of London, the romance of Rome, the charm of Venice, and the thrill of New York."
