Even better!…read moreIt's an architectural and design wonder - an office building comprised of 32 colorful, recycled shipping containers on the former Harris Lumber site (formerly abandoned). So why review it? It's a breathing, functional, permanent art exhibit. An architectural and design wonder. A cutting edge example of urban revitalization and green design. And it's right here in Providence, RI. In addition to using recycled steel from the shipping containers, the design incorporates energy recovery ventilation, storm runoff reduction, and light fixtures sensing daylight - encouraging 25% less energy than most office buildings. Current tenants include social enterprises like Maternova, nonprofits like Social Venture Partners RI and the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative, design firms like Morris Beach Design and Kelly Taylor Interior Design, and a handful of other local businesses, including the 3 collaborators who made this architectural experiment possible: distill studio, Stack Design Build, and truth box inc.

Walking up to DePasquale Square, I was a bit disappointed if I'm going to be honest. You can't see…read morethe fountain, or the square itself, walking up to it from the street because there are so many tables in the square for the restaurants that flank it. Well we came here for the scenery so we decided to push on and walk in and sit at the fountain for a little bit. And there it was. We were sitting there, the sounds of people eating and imbibing, Italian music pumped in through speakers and we saw the magic. It really did feel like sitting in a square in Italy and I was down for it. There are so many fun details and things to look at. I can see why they have events here and I wish we were here on a night that had a live band playing.

If Garibaldi Park and the Gateway Arch are the welcoming arms of Federal Hill, DePasquale Square is its beating heart. The quatrefoil fountain and the wide plaza are part of the Federal Hill revitalization effort. Back in the day, however, tens of thousands of immigrant families packed into these narrow streets and triple-deckers. The Cappelli Block (a multi-use commercial and residential building) was completed in 1909 by Antonio Cappelli, one of the earliest Italian arrivals on the Hill, when Irish immigrants dominated the avenue. Along these streets, too, were the famous pushcarts, selling every variety of fruit and vegetable. Today, it's a lively plaza that reminds you of a place in sunny Italy...the colors, the al fresco dining, the architecture of the fountain and surrounding buildings, all make this one of the cutest spots in Providence. On weekends, during the summer you will likely see live performers chanting old songs either as solo performers or groups. Also during the summer, many festivals take place around this square, attracting thousands....

Last August 17, 2023, a high profile section of the Greenway was opened by the Governor and Mayor in an area near Eddy Street and Point Street. The Urban Coastal Greenway is nestled behind Wexford's South Street Landing Redevelopment properties in the Providence Innovation and Design District. The Urban Coastal Greenway includes 15% vegetation throughout the entire development site, offering twice the public access as typically required, and includes a major stormwater management infrastructure. To meet the conditions for a sustainable greenway, the project includes dozens of green planting areas all located along pathways, which are next to the pedestrian bridge, which at the same time connects the greenway to the 195 District Park, a seven-acre waterfront park on the other side of the South Street Landing development. Benches, plantings, and a dock on the Providence River are also part of this beautiful Greenway. I love walking and exercising in this part of the city...it's green, lush and well kept. A jewel for all of those wanting a nice place to stroll around the river. For those wanting to to make a loop around this green space (Fox Point park, 195 district park and Waterplace park), it's about a 3 mile loop from the Providence Place Mall / Waterplace Park basin to the Fox Point Bridge and back.

All but one in our group of 7 had to go boxes. Me included. First let me tell you we have been going to Macera for many years. We use to bring containers and get gallons of soup and loaves of their bread for great suppers. Now I only have one thing that bothers me there. I love Veal Parmigiana. And they give you enough to eat there then take home and if you have a small appetite( which is what I ordered) but it was Huge! But, didn't come with macaroni ?! So I ordered a side of bow ties. I have ate it at home twice! Now the not so great. There is more breading on the veal than veal. It is pounded so thin and breaded so thick you can only taste the breading. I will always like Maceras, their prices are fair and their food is consistently the same, decent.

Right by it you can dine by the river at River Social restaurant...a few steps away you will find the Capital Grille steakhouse and many other fun spots.
