Food Scene

Faust is located in the Dean Hotel, offering a fine menu of German cusine and as a German-inspired beer and wine house. There is the romantic​ Magdalene lounge located within, and if one wants to explore their pipes, a unique and pint-sized Japanese Karaoke lounge awaits called the "Boombox."

Shopping

The Arcade is amongst the 90% of historic buildings that have been restored and preserved in downtown Providence. It is the landmark for the first shopping mall in the United States. The shops are all local -I highly recommend​ checking out the H.P. Lovecraft storefront to get a taste of Providence's weird and literature-elite at it's finest, and to stop in New Harvest for the best coffee in town --make note of their whiskey selection. Yes, coffee and whiskey.
