The Weekly: 11/13/25 Guide to Downtown Providence
Happy November, everyone. In Providence, there’s always something interesting going on! And we understand how challenging it can be to wade through all the happenings and decide what events to attend, where to eat, and what to shop for. That’s why we’re here to share the top things we’re excited about in the coming week in each installment of “The Weekly.” Each week, we’ll rant and rave unabashedly about just a slice of the food, fun, and fantastic items that we’re currently obsessed with in downtown Providence, RI.

POP-UP PVD COMING TO GUM SALON IN DOWNTOWN PROVIDENCE
Calling all thrifters! Something super fun is coming to Clemence Street in downtown Providence: Pop-Up PVD is bringing a night marketplace to GUM. Head to GUM, a hair salon whose stylists specialize in creative cuts and color, for the indoor Pop-Up x GUM market on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 7:30-11 pm.
This event will feature curated thrifted items from the Pop-Up PVD team and beyond, music by DJ Miss Gurl, an opportunity for tattoos by Divided Soul Tattoo, drinks, and more. GUM opened in 2024 at 77 Clemence Street. Since then, owner Christian Domingos and the growing team of skilled stylists have fully embraced GUM’s goal to be “where street meets luxury meets art.”
ELLIE’S NOW OFFERING THANKSGIVING BAKED GOODS PRE-ORDERS
When Thanksgiving rolls around, there’s so much going on: football, family and friends in town, holiday shopping kicking off… But for some of us, all we can think about is the glorious food. If you’re looking to take something off your plate (pun not intended- we’re loading up our plates!) then Providence bakery and cafe Ellie’s has just the thing! Ellie’s is currently offering Thanksgiving pre-orders through Sunday, Nov. 23.
Pre-orders can be made on Ellie’s website for Parker House Rolls, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Apple Caramel Crumble Tart, Sweet Potato Cranberry Walnut Bread, Wheat Free English Muffins, and more.
CLEMENTINE COCKTAIL BAR THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
It doesn’t seem possible that it’s now been three years since Clementine Cocktail Bar opened on Washington Street in Providence! We’ve made so many memories, sipping unforgettable cocktails (like the “Beso,” pictured above) and snacking on crispy fries late into the night. And the Clementine team is throwing an anniversary party on Wednesday, Nov. 19 and you’re invited.
Head to the bar and order a drink, enjoy the return of some past favorite menu items, visit with friends old and new, and snack on complimentary treats.
BROWSE ART FROM THE SMALL POINT CAFE TEAM AT THEIR ARTIST MARKET
Providence is a city full of artists and we always appreciate the ample opportunities to view art of all types! If you feel the same way, then this upcoming event is for you: Small Point Cafe is hosting an Artist Market on Friday, Nov. 21 from 6-8:30 pm. The cafe will transform into a gallery for the work of many Small Point staff members and friends.
The night will also feature live music, alongside the handmade ceramics, paintings, and prints on display. There will be a $5 cover fee and all attendees will be entered into a raffle for a prize box. If you’re unable to make it, make sure to check out Small Point Cafe during the day! It’s a classic, cozy cafe located on Westminster Street.
