The Arcade Providence — Attraction in Providence

This weeks adventure brought us to this wonderful little strip mall of sorts. One store af times gone by I'll enter next time I'm here. It was the Lovecraft and Science store that pulled us in - literally. This bewilderment is right up my ally so I was surprised when my son asked if I ever heard of him. lol Who hasn't right? There was far too much to inhale in one short visit but we did a good job at checking out the abundance of books, T-shirts, momentoms etc... We walked out with two books, a complete compilation of Lovecraft stories and a bedtime story for the kiddos - 'Tha Call of Cthulhu'. The ladder might be a book for beginner readers but it's perfectly illustrated with notes of Dr. Seuss and the rhymings. Another call out book for kids is 'The Big Red God'. There's something for everyone. The sweet cashier was as pleasant as ever, didn't mind if I took pictures or had the audacity to put my coffee on the glass. I guess if I were doing something awful I would have been sucked into the abyss. Please make Providence your stop by place and check out the most unique experience you didn't know...

This place right here is a hidden gem in Rhode Island. There a a few small shops inside with a lot to offer. If you're a fan of H.P. Lovecraft there's a store just for that. Although the Lovecraft store is my favorite place to go in my spare time there is also a very nice coffee shop/bar with a amazing coffee and a good selection of alcohol. Oh and if you're looking for something to eat inside I highly recommend a little restaurant known as Rouge Island. One of the absolute best restaurants in all of Rhode Island. The staff will make you feel right at home with their friendly atmosphere. Wait for food isn't very long here. But the best part is the mouth watering food. The Arcade Providence is one of the greatest places in all of...

A wonderful Victorian Arcade, with some equally wonderful stores, bars and restaurants. The H.P. Lovecraft Arts & Sciences was the main reason I visited the Arcade, and they put on various events over the weekends. The shop is a Lovecraftian fans dream, with an array of shiny things to purchase, and the owners are really friendly and a pleasure to talk too. The bar opposite the HPL Arts & Sciences was ideal for beverages and a nice chill out spot. The bar staff here were really nice and friendly. The deli was pretty good at the far end of the Arcade, some delicious wraps were had. The Arcade was also an ideal meeting point between the friends that I made whilst visiting, and I can’t wait to return...
