Saunderstown, Rhode Island

Population: 173,618

Founded in 1636, Providence's nickname of "The Renaissance City" stems from both its economic revival and its seamless incorporation of modern structures with historic sites. Art Deco towers from the 20th century rise up next to highly ornamented Victorian and stately Federal-style buildings from the 1800s. Seven colleges and universities, including the prestigious Brown University, have their campuses in Providence, giving it a college-town feel. The best area for culture and nightlife is downtown Providence, known as Downcity, where the famed Trinity Repertory Company puts on theatrical productions and the Dunkin' Donuts Center hosts popular athletic games. During specific summer nights, the public art display WaterFire captivates thousands as one hundred floating bonfires, accompanied by music, light up the riverfront.
