Getting around
Providence's compact downtown is made for walking. But if you get tired — or have longer trips in mind — the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority offers $5 passes that'll give you a day's worth of unlimited bus rides. The regular fare for a single passenger is $1.75; the elderly and disabled are eligible for free rides.
Arts and culture
• Brush up on your Manet and Monet, and far more modern fare, at the Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design — better known as the RISD Museum. Admission on Sunday is "pay what you wish" until 1 p.m. Besides paintings and sculpture, the museum's 84,000-object collection also specializes in costumes and textiles, ancient and decorative arts and prints, drawing and photographs; 224 Benefit St., risdmuseum.org .
Where is there a decent Farmer's Market in Rhode Island?
Jan 20, 2006 by mayfly315 | Posted in Other - Food & Drink
I do know of one that's held in the square in Attleboro, MA. on the weeksends. Take I-95N to the 123E exit - and follow the signs.
This one is seasonal - depending on the weather - and held from 7am until 12 noon - depending on produce sales.
There is also a little place called The Corn Crib - operated and owned by the Fine family and is their Fine Farm produce - out of Rehoboth, MA. It's on RT. 118 just before it turns into RT. 140.
There is also a Farmer's Market held on Block Island

What is a quality web site design company in Rhode Island?
Sep 08, 2008 by Matty Mo | Posted in Other - Advertising & Marketing
I need to create a website for my hotel and restaurant, but I don''t want to use a big agency. I'm located in Newport, Rhode Island, and am looking for a local company to help me create a site. They would probably also need to help me with internet marketing -- stuff I know nothing about.
I'm a retailer in Providence and I've worked with a small company called Pirata Media in Bristol, RI. They gave me a lot of time and attention, and didn't use any smoke and mirrors, like some big web companies do.
They know what they're talking about too! They helped me with some video production I needed, as well as some pay-per-click marketing and search engine optimization (which I'll admit I knew nothing about either).
Overall, a great company with professional, high quality work for an extremely reasonable price. Also friendly, and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.
