The 10 Places You Should Eat In Rhode Island In 2017
Throughout 2016 the Rhode Island page of Only In Your State has featured dozens of the amazing restaurants found across the state. Though our state is small, those of us that live here know we have no shortage of great places to dine! While some are pretty well known, others are either new and growing in popularity, others are lesser known gems that offer unique atmospheres. While there are so many that are worth visiting this year, we pulled these 10 from the bunch as places that simply should not be missed.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
