The current issue of National Geographic Traveler praises Providence’s “pedestrian-friendly riverfront, vibrant, ethnic neighborhoods and brainy, creative community.” It’s no wonder that of the dozen or so destinations profiled, many are connected to RISD. Check out this interactive map to see what the magazine has to say about our Museum of Art (including the Dale Chihuly [RISD ‘69, Ceramics] exhibition), Chace Center, risd|works, Nature Lab, Fleet Library and environs.

The Traveler also recommends Bruce Tillinghast’s [RISD ‘68, Graphic Design] New Rivers Restaurant as a “terrific mid-week option, with a romantic European feel.”
