This place right here is a hidden gem in Rhode Island. There a a few small shops inside with a lot to offer. If youre a fan of H.P. Lovecraft theres 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 youre 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 isnt very long here. But the best part is the mouth watering food. The Arcade Providence is one of the greatest places in all of Rhode Island.

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 again in 2017!

Nice little shops and wonderful smelling restaurants. Didnt go in any of the restaurants but did go in a couple of the stores. Nice, clean, pleasant place to be. Shopkeepers were all very friendly. I absolutely love that the other floors are micro-apartments. I was so totally thrilled that I had seen the documentary about this place and then just happened to walk in to it not realizing what it was. I would have loved to have been able to see one of the apartments in person!

Time travel to 1828 when you walk through the doors of the Arcade. Very small mall there are about 8 business - restaurants, bar, cafe, hair salon, clothing, and vintage shop. Well worth a quick peek along with the vintage store with little grab bag items that are relatively cheap. There is also a little art store, which had designs made from a local art school.

The burritos were expensive and guacamole is an outrageous $4 extra for a small scoop. Having ate burritos throughout New England this one is not remember-able only the price paid. I also asked for hot and she recommend the mild I went with the next one up and it was still extremely mild. Wish she would have just listened when I said I want it hot!

A swanky ultra modern set of stores inside the corridor of an iconic historical building downtown. The building was actually designed for this use though it may look like the stores were added in. It has a very peaceful relaxed atmosphere due to flowers and trees and lots of open glass windows. Very nice high end stores for some browsing here.

Chic and located close to Kennedy Plaza, this place offers a handful of shops on the ground floor that includes a great coffee shop and bar, an HP Lovecraft oriented gift shop, and a salon, among a few boutiques. The upper floors are closed to the public, but contain various apartments that are reliable.

Really cute little boutiques. Some of them are pricey but if youre into kitsch, vintage, or weird Id suggest checking out Carmen and Ginger. If you want to know more about the weird occult-y history of Providence check out Love Craft. Theres also some nice clothes boutiques, good food, and a salon.

The first American mall offers a unique experience. Located in style and convenience between Weybosset and Westminster it occupies a fine spot west of Memorial Blvd. Stop in and grab some "java" from New Harvest or maybe later a heavier brew from Rogue Island.

Dirty. Lots. LOTS of homeless people near Main entrances. Wife did not feel safe at 2 on a Saturday afternoon. Cool looking shops, but after being asked for money no less than 10 times we left without buying anything.

The Arcade is a pretty interesting spot if you wanna learn about the state of Rhode Island and everything H. P. Lovecraft related. Never pass up the opportunity to stop there everyone once in a while.

Cool historic shopping mall. The building itself has a tremendous amount of character. Mostly antiques and art shops within. Also features nice food options, like Rogue Island pub/restaurant.

This was a cool place with a lot of history. It is definitely worth stopping in when you are in town. Visit the Lovecraft Arts & Sciences store for some interesting ephemera.
