Best Respite From Mall Rush
Marketplace Café At Nordstrom
If you find yourself inundated from shopping with a tempestuous teen or a frenzied friend, excuse yourself and tell them to meet you on the third floor of Providence Place, at the MARKETPLACE CAFÉ AT NORDSTROM. And don't be rushed by the cafeteria set-up. Just step back and let others pass, as you make slow, considered decisions on salads, sandwiches, or entrées, and then select one of the tables or booths with a view of College Hill or the State House. Lean back and let the quiet elegance (what else might you expect from such a style-setter as Nordstrom?) sink into your very bones. And enjoy the well-prepared food, for non-budget-busting prices. The Providence store specializes in brick-oven pizzas, as well as pasta dishes and tasty desserts. The Seattle-based chain has scoped out its audience in Li'l Rhody, and it strives for something much, much better than chain-restaurant food in its café. | 6 Providence Place | 401.621.3111 | nordstrom.com
