Default Anything to do in Providence, RI?

I'll be working in Providence next week. Is there anything to do/see in the PM hours during the work week?

Hit up Snookers. Parking is terrible because it has a small lot and its on a one way street but place is huge if you wanna watch like every sports game at once with beer and girls.

Yeah, Snookers is a cool spot if you dont mind having your windows smashed out and your **** stolen. There is plenty to do in Providence. What are you interested in? Dont sleep on Haven Brother's. They haven't been around for 100+ years for nothing. Plenty of good eating around the city though!
