Readers of Travel + Leisure have spoken, and their votes placed Providence at the top of the pile as America's Best City for Food and Drink.
“Providence’s national reputation as a culinary powerhouse is a cornerstone of our marketing efforts,” said Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau (PWCVB) President & CEO Martha Sheridan. The PWCVB encouraged people to vote in the survey through its social media channels. “The depth and breadth of our culinary offerings is phenomenal and we are fortunate to have so many talented people in our city.”
