“A cool piece of Providence history that has been underutilized over the last few years. The Arcade is a small mall located in a beautiful building in downtown Providence, and is actually the oldest enclosed indoor mall in the country dating back to 1828. While it is beautiful inside and out and has a popular Lovecraft-themed bookstore and some good restaurants, there are a noticeable amount of empty spaces in here. I believe the second and third floors are used as micro-loft rentals, but can’t find much information on them. While I did enjoy spending time here, it seems that with a bit more advertising and effort, the Arcade could truly be revitalized and live up to its potential.”
“A large shopping mall in the downtown has outlets of many brands, restaurants , an Imax Cinema Theatre, and other entertainments. Paid parking and wi.fi frequent registration are 2 major issues staff is cooperative.”

Providence Pl, Providence“I had never even heard of this place let alone been to one before coming to the mall. It's essentially a dept store w/ all kinds of stuff & great deals. I ended up getting two pairs of sunglasses & gloves because I couldn't decide between them & since they were on sale I decided to get them all. The service/cashier was friendly & helpful too. Great place to shop.”
“So I took my daughter to finally get her ears pierced for her 11th birthday yesterday. And let me tell you! Nikki who works and doing piercings is a gem!

“Actually I came here for an appointment at the VA Eye Clinic. Of course they're doing screenings at the door but the wait time is just 5-10 minutes once checked in.”
