The best place in the city to sober up following a long night of fist pumping on Richmond Street and it's located right at Providence City Hall. Fact: 60 percent of all divorced couples first met here.
42 | EAST A SLICE OF GREGG'S CHOCOLATE CAKE | PROVIDENCE, WARWICK, NORTH KINGSTOWN, AND EAST PROVIDENCE
Yes, it may look, feel, and smell like a senior center, but you won't be disappointed by the best cake in all of Rhode Island.
43 | GASPEE DAYS PARADE | CRANSTON
We don't celebrate winning wars the way we used to. But the Gaspee Days Parade allows everyone to dress up and party even if they aren't exactly sure why they're doing it.
44 | IGGY'S OR AUNT CARRIE'S | NARRAGANSETT
Every state has its major food battle and in Rhode Island, the question is which food shack makes the best doughboys (fried dough). Iggy's is more famous, but Aunt Carrie's might be the insider's pick.
45 | LAZERGATE | FALL RIVER, MA
It's actually just over the line in Fall River, but heading over the border to shoot your friends is another staple of being a Rhode Islander.
46 | LUPO'S | PROVIDENCE
You might be scared off by the thought of waiting in a long line with those underage, scantily clad women. But if you head to Lupo's on the right night, you won't be disappointed. It's one of the best places in New England to catch a show.
47 | PROVIDENCE COLLEGE BASKETBALL
The days of being a national power in college basketball are gone, but it's still fun to head over to the Dunk and see the Friars challenge the beasts of the Big East.
48 | WICKFORD ART FESTIVAL
A large collection of artists, wannabe artists, and hippies who don't know what to do with their lives consider this the most important career festival of the year.
49 | NEWPORT MURDER MYSTERY
If that Newport mansion tour wasn't for you, a rousing live version of Clue might be more up your alley.

50) | THE WILD COLONIAL | PROVIDENCE
The mecca for Brown and RISD students. In my view, the Wild Colonial should serve you your first legal beer and the last one before you leave the state.
