The Weekly: 4/30/26 Guide to Downtown Providence
Here’s the gist: 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.

NOW POURING: THE EDDY UNVEILS SPRING 2026 COCKTAIL MENU
Spring is in full swing and the menus are changing all over town! We most recently went to one of our go-to cocktail bars in downtown Providence, The Eddy, to try a few of the seasonal specials now on the menu. There were so many drinks to choose from, but here’s what we cannot wait to order again:
Gardenheir - Once we read the words “sugar snap pea infused peloton mezcal” we knew this drink would be bright, smoky, and go down all too easily
Lemon Meringue - Sweet, citrusy, and silky (we adore frothy eggwhite in any drink), this just might be our favorite drink of the spring
Outbound - Vanilla! Orange! Allspice! This cocktail is somehow both warming and invigorating
And there’s so much more, from the “Pink Silk” with raspberry infused gyro pink gin, to the “Blossom Break” featuring tequila, apricot, and passionfruit. Head to The Eddy at 95 Eddy Street between the hours of 4 pm and 1 am, seven days a week, to try for yourself.
LIMITED TICKETS: ROOFTOP WINE TASTINGS RETURN TO DOWNTOWN PROVIDENCE
Rooftop tastings are back in May! And Eno Fine Wines is kicking off the season with “an intimate evening of wine, food, and conversation” on Tuesday, May 5 at 6:30 pm. Head to the shop on Westminster Street in downtown Providence, RI where you’ll be guided up to a gorgeous rooftop space to try wines from Cantine Monfort.
