Really funky, fun area with a great vibe and cool shops and cages, nice range of prices and great food selection. Close to the train too, be sure to check out Spectrum india for spiritual fun and if you are considering something a little wild, Rockstar piercing is absolutely awesome - great service, decent prices, lovely staff and minimal pain! Really comprehend follow up too.
There is nothing worth mentioning to visit specially. It is just a street which is loaded with people around and diffrents shops and restaurants. Sometimes when was alone I used to some here for a walk, n enjoy the environment and have some food from here
This is a very popular Providence street for all walks of life. There are a ton of restaurants, and nice boutiques to shop in. Great place to people watch!
Right off of Brown and Rhode Island School of Design's campuses, Thayer Street is four blocks of quirky shops and restaurants. Well.. quirky, plus Starbucks, CVS, Urban Outfitters, Chipotle, and Ben and Jerry's. Take a walk through Brown University's classically beautiful campus, then drop by Thayer street for a bite to eat. East Side Pockets always has a long line - locals know this is the place for great grub. Personally, I love grabbing a slice of pizza at Antonio's (try the Avocado Quesadilla and/or Chicken Bacon Ranch!) Then, the English Cellar is a great place for a casual drink in the evening.Before heading back to the car (park off Brown Street) drop in to A Pleasant Surprise and Pie in the Sky for a fun gift/souvenir.
A stroll along Thayer Street is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening in Providence. Lots of shops, restaurants, and of course, the Avon Cinema. Always a good time.
Thayer Street is a fairly typical stroll down a row of restaurants and shops catering mainly to the Brown University students. There are a couple of decent restaurants here (Cabob and Currry, Andreas) and a lot of mediocre ones. It is worth a couple of hours if you are already touring the East Side, but not a great attraction.
The street Located on the College area in Brown UNIVERSITY and RISD! there have restaurant, bar, clothing shop... not very expensive price but it's quality. there also have Starbucks and Exchange Cafe and tea shop here.
Thayer street is very busy due to a confluence of colleges locally (Brown, Johnson & Wales, Rhode Island School of Design). It has some chain retail places, but also some unique stores and places to eat as well. Browns main bookstores are on this street, along with a bunch more and there is always a decent buzz due to the college crowds.
If you like middle eastern food, Thayer st. is the place, if you come to providence, stop, Thayer st. is located in the heart or Providence, sidewalk sitting, coffee tables, and you can enjoy the scenery of beautiful people from Brown University, RISD, Moses Brown School, is a Historical place, and a busy commercial area. come see.
We enjoyed walking up and down Thayer street and popping into some of the unique shops. I bought incense at an Indian store and my boyfriend bought a jacket at the Army Navy Store. People were very friendly and helpful. The people watching was also fun as we witnessed a sorority pledging new women and a frat singing as they walked down the street. Oh, to be in college again, good times.
