The pulse of Providence

With its walkable waterfront bar district, 19th-century rowhouses and views of downtown and the Providence River, Fox Point is the pulse of Providence. People migrate to the neighborhood on Friday nights for drinks at the Hot Club, watch sunsets from the boarded Providence Riverwalk and walk home past restaurants and bars to Victorian houses behind wrought-iron fences. Its natural beauty and vibrant, urban feel are major selling points for the neighborhood, which attracts students, professors and staff from nearby Brown University.
