If you have any questions about RI nightlife, ask me
I left out a bunch of great bars, though I suppose I should add them.
Unfortunately, there will not be a Waterfire on the night of our wedding. Because of the economy, they had a hard time getting sponsors this year. However, while I doubt it will happen, they could get a sponsor to hold one that night (though it’d likely happen in July when there aren’t any scheduled). Even without Waterfire, the Riverwalk is still a nice walk, especially the southern portion.
