WALK DESCRIPTION
Providence’s Lower Broad Street is one of the most active and densely occupied commercial streets in the city. It serves a diverse community with an extraordinarily eclectic range of services, from bars, restaurants, and cafes, to numerous ethnic boutiques, salons and convenience stores, even a full service grocery. We will walk from the Parkview Café to the America’s Food Basket and back to experience a unique piece of urban Providence.
WALK LEADER: Jim Barnes
