It may be tiny, but this state has got big personality.
1. One Taste Of An Awful Awful Will Blow Your Mind
The nickname of this delicious, creamy beverage, served at Newport Creamery, is short for 鈥淎wful Big, Awful Good.鈥� It’s an extra thick milkshake that鈥檚 made with ice milk and is oh-so incredibly tasty. Once you try it, you鈥檒l never want a milkshake from anywhere else.
8. For A Hot Date Take Your Special Someone To WaterFire
Everyone in Rhode Island knows that WaterFire is the best place to take a date. This award-winning sculpture by Barnaby Evans, presented on the rivers of downtown Providence, was first created in 1994 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of First Night Providence.
WaterFire has grown to become an annual public art phenomenon, where, on WaterFire evenings, downtown Providence is transformed by 100 bonfires that burn just above the surface of the three rivers that pass through the middle of downtown Providence.
The sight is truly a beautiful, so it鈥檚 only natural this is a prime spot for young love.
11. Or Make Your Taste Buds Dance With Some Of Iggy鈥檚 Clam Cakes
Iggy’s has been awarded Best Clam Shack honors from Rhode Island Monthly and featured nationally on CBS’s 鈥淭he Early Show鈥� as their pick for the Best Clam Chowder as part of their: A Taste of America series. And it鈥檚 no wonder why: Iggy’s is just a true Rhode Island tradition that features award winning doughboys, chowder, clam cakes, fish & chips, and more. But everyone鈥檚 favorite is, by far, the clam cakes.
12. Del鈥檚 Lemonade Is Pretty Much The Nectar Of The Gods
What is more refreshing than a Del鈥檚 frozen lemonade on a hot summer day in Rhode Island? Nothing. The answer is nothing. Del鈥檚 takes shaved ice to the next level: it鈥檚 sweet, sour delicious flavor is part of what makes being a Rhode Islander so wonderful.
