Exploring Wayland Square in Providence, Rhode Island | Ride RIPTA
Spend a morning with me in Wayland Square.
The best way to get around Providence is by taking the bus and then walking to your destination. RIPTA (Rhode Island Public Transit Authority) has a multitude of routes around the city. Today, we decided to take line 32 to Wayland Square, a cute neighborhood on the East Side.
I started the morning at Madrid European Bakery & Patisserie with an espresso and croissant (it’s only right), before strolling and checking out all the local businesses.
I ended up at East Side Cheese (check out the prints vending machine!), Books on the Square, Paper Nautilus Books, and wistfully strolled by Red Stripe (before they were open for lunchtime).
I grabbed a quick, healthy lunch at Wayland Fresh where I built my own salad bowl. They also have smoothies, wraps, and snacks!
To head back downtown, I found the nearest bus stop and hopped on by just scanning the QR code on my phone. The Wave app (or physical card) makes paying and planning so easy and affordable. No parking mess, no parking fees, and no stress. RIPTA is the way to go!
