Providence “Kicks Boston’s Butt” in New GQ Ranking

The Secret's Out
Called a “mini-opolis,” Providence ranks #11 with the distinction, “The most interesting city in New England sure isn’t Boston.” It goes on to say, “what Providence lacks in fratty Irish bars, it makes up for with a vibrant art scene and the renegade character of a bastard son.” AS220, Al Forno, E & O Tap, Julian’s, Nick’s and the Armageddon Shop are all cited in the complimentary piece. “Besides the fact that it is always fun to kick Boston’s butt, I think the GQ article validates our marketing strategy,” said Kristen Adamo, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We position Providence as a quirky, hip city with a vibrant arts scene and world-class restaurants. Just this month, we’ve seen the GQ ranking, Esquire naming Cook & Brown as one of the best new restaurants in the U.S. and American Style tapping Providence as a top arts destination for the fifth consecutive year,” explained Adamo. “The word is clearly spreading.”
