I like walks, with stops for coffee, pizza or tacos. I start at the Pedestrian Bridge. There are great walks in all directions. Full disclosure, I might stop for a beer, but most of the time it's coffee or grabbing a slice to eat outside.

The Hope Farmers market on Saturdays and Providence Flea are good all year round, but are even better outside (May to Oct, I think).

I love Aleppo Sweets, but go for the savory dishes and get a pot of the special teas. Possibly the best, or at least most unique restaurant that doesn't serve alcohol.

I also like BYOB places. Bring a bottle if you like or don't bring a botte. Noodles 101 on Ives is such a place.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Lamei Hot Pot. Take your time here. Soup is good for the soul. They do have drinks - and I enjoy a good drink - but was perfectly happy with tea. We went to Moniker Brewery after for one beer, which was perfect.

Everything in moderation, as they say...
