I'm going to Rhode Island on Saturday. What is there to do?

It looks like a lot of campgrounds, Audubon nature reserves, state parks, and the only major city is Providence which is museums and food.

Newport has some interesting shopping. Get some stuffies (stuffed quahog clams) if you like seafood. They should be eaten with a squeeze of lemon and the cheapest vinegar and cayenne hotsauce you can find.

Came here to say stuffies. There is also Rhode Island clam chowder. All the other seafood was good too. Stopped at a public house that had free oysters that changed my mind about raw oysters.

The Breakers mansion tour was also cool.

HP Lovecraft's grave is there. I enjoyed looking around Providence at night thinking about it as part of his fictional universe.

I went to the Roger Williams Zoo.

There is a vampire grave people leave stuff at.

Also went to some museums and Block Island, but they just had a fire so that may be closed or difficult to get to right now.

Just wait a minute.. Quahog is real?

Do you know the Griffins?
