Nearly 200 years old, this neoclassical building is charming and historic (it's supposedly the…read morefirst enclosed shopping mall in US!) - but mostly charming. The first floor consists of small eccentric shops and cafes while the upper floors have been converted into studio apartments. (I am entranced by the idea of residing there - just think, I can leave my apartment in my Jammies and walk downstairs to a cafe for my morning coffee.). A great place to browse the shops for unique gifts and a bite.

We were staying in a hotel across the street and needed to get some Providence souvenirs. I looked up gift shops/souvenir places and it told me to head to one of the stores in The Arcade. Walking in, you could tell this place was extremely beautiful once. The architecture is incredible and there is a lot of potential here. People comment that it's underutilized and they aren't wrong. Even though the place is bright and sunny and feels safe, there's also a feeling of abandonment and dereliction that I just couldn't shake. There aren't many stores to shop at or places to eat at. There's one restaurant that seems to be doing well, we saw people at the whole time we were in Providence, but that was it. Hopefully, soon, more life will be injected into this place because it is very beautiful and historical and has a lot of potential.

The quaint little area is a much more relaxed place to dine and shop than nearby Thayer Street or the Providence Place Mall. You won't often see large crowds or wait in long lines.

We have been many times to eat, shop and relax...the area is in a residential setting, so for those who live nearby, it's like a block or two away walk to get a French croissant, grab the latest bestseller novel or get a funky lamp from a home decor store. A nice relaxed setting !

GREAT LITTLE AREA OF PROVIDENCE…read more============================== My family and I checked out some of the stores in Wayland Square before having lunch at Red Stripe yesterday. It reminds me of Old Town Pasadena, but on a much smaller scale. I really like it. We went in the West Elm store and my in-laws bought some things for their home. We also went in a cute ladies boutique on the corner. My sister-in-law has purchased some things there. Great area to dine and shop.
