pawtuxet village

Pawtuxet Village has the greatest people for conversation, the most wonderfully prepared food in its restaurants, grills, pubs, delis and bakeries, the coldest beverages to quaff, and the best spots to hang out.

Interesting shops and restaurants. Continuing to improve with every visit I make through this area. Usually are in this neighborhood for the road race and parade in June, but with the variety of shops and restaurants, find myself going more often.

Theres always something to do here especially in the summer months. Shops,parks, restaurants, bars and event halls. Parades a few times a year. check the towns website for events if you're visiting.

The cupcake shop, the little shop that sells oils and bath salts all home made. Has a nice little night life, yet quite feel during the day. Not too touristy, yet.

I am constantly visiting pawtuxet village and have never been disappointed. There are a handful of cute shops and restaurants. I do wish there were a few more shops, but the abundance of great restaurants make up for it. You can get crepes at The Elephant Room for breakfast, you can enjoy a nice dinner at Basta, and you can grab some cupcakes at Sweet Indulgence. The village is also in a beautiful location. Set right on the water, families can lick their ice cream from Dear Hearts while searching for fish in the water. If you are visiting Cranston, the Pawtuxet village is a must see.

First of all from the historic perspective. It is said that the American Revolution started here back in 1772. The colonists at the time had settled along the banks of the river and set up mills and because of the easy access to the bay, set up trading posts. It was then that the British tax ship, the HMS Gaspee sailed up Narragansett Bay to collect taxes from the colonists. Well they burned the ship and sent the English packing. This event is celebrated each year in the early part of June, with parades, road races, burning of the Gaspee, and a week long events of activities. The Pawtuxet Village area is actually in two cities, Cranston and Warwick which share honors and celebrations each year. The bridge over the Pawtuxet river is the border line. There are many shops, restaurants, bars and coffee shops dotting the village. Under the bridge and along the banks are old colonial homes and lots of places for picnicking, and sitting around to absorb the beauty of the area. A great place to appreciate history and stroll around to the many eateries, have a lemonade or ice cream and enjoy the scenery. Even great in the winter with snow covered sidewalks and Christmas shoppers scurrying around.

The park is quaint, right on the bay. The little shops and restaurants are unique places to visit. During the summer, there are all kinds of events from music to fireworks to historic reenactments.

Pawtuxet Village is a quaint, historical village. Dating back to colonial days, the rebels captured and burnt to the sea, the British ship, the Gaspee. This is said to have been the first blow against the British Empire leading up to the Revolution. The Village straddles two cities, Cranston and Warwick. Besides the natural beauty, there are excellent eateries, shops, and pouts of interest. If you make it to the Village in June, make sure you attend the Gaspee Days Parade, 5k road race (with elite runners as well as us ham and eggers), and all the festivities.

Pawtuxet Village has great restaurants, ice cream, shops, a hardware shore, a bank, a marina, a bridge on which you will often find many kids and adults fishing. There is also a park within walking distance. It's a nice place to walk to after a nice meal. It's an appropriate place for everyone...couples, families, friends, teens, business or solo~

Little shops, trendy restaurants and throughout the summer there always some type of festival going on.

I've lived nearby for most of my life and Pawtuxet Village is a great place to spend an afternoon. Nearby is the site of the 1772 Burning of the Gaspee at Gaspee Point. It was one of the first acts of defiance against the British in colonial times. The Village itself is quaint with the Pawtuxet River running through it. There are some nice restaurants like O'Rourkes and Basta. There is also a cute ice cream shop although the name escapes me now.

This is a cute New England village, split by the Pawtuxit River. Last summer they removed most of the dam on the river and it is mostly returned to its natural state. It is a wonderful place to stroll, stop for coffee or a snack, and, in season, ice cream. During the summer there are concerts in the park, and it is the site of the Gaspee Day celebrations.Come anytime.

Pawtuxet Village is a charming little New England town, site of the Gaspée Affair in early 1772, a significant event leading up to the American Revolution, a year and a half before the celebrated Boston Tea Party. The bridge over the Pawtuxet River is the boundary between Cranston in Providence County and Warwick, in Kent County. Every year America's "First Blow for Freedom" is celebrated with Gaspee Days Parade, a Colonial Encampment in the park and other commemorative events, including a re-enactment of sorts of the burning of the Gaspée. It is now possible to kayak or canoe out of Pawtuxet Cove down to Passeonkquis Cove, Occupessatuxet Cove or up to Stillhouse Cove in Edgewood. You can even kayak up the Pawtuxet River a ways. You really get a whole different perspective from the water. Pawtuxet Cove Kayak and Canoe provides the equipment and has guided tours, if that is what you prefer.

We enjoyed the little village of Pawtuxet and loved the little ice cream store there. Its less than a mile from the Charles Newhall House and very easy to get to.

Pawtuxet Village is one of the oldest surviving villages in the country. It is very historic with a mix of housing ranging from mansions on the bay to multi-family homes. The village offers great water vistas, historic homes and buildings, and the shopping centers has several wonderful places to dine.
