RI has one of the top 10 'views' as in Atlantic Ocean/ Narragansett Bay. Wonderful state. We are within 1-3 hours driving distance of New York City to Maine. We have NO sales tax on clothing (whatever the size) and MA( also no sales tax on clothing) has factory outlets within a 50-mile radius or less of Providence, RI that offer clothing, kitchen utensils, and all kinds of 'construction equipment' deals. Oh, and for those of you who pay into the FCI, we still have 'workmen's comp' so if you injure your pinkie, you can collect 'indefinitely'...<G> Of course, RI (and New England) has political intrigue that rivals Philly and the Windy City (our Mayor of Provicence was recently convcted of a felony - for the second time - different felony) but we have clam chowdah (and that's the not-too-many-potatoes/no tomatoes - made-with quahog - hard shell clam - variety , and (RI's own brand is called 'clear' as in NO MILK), and lobstahs, fresh fish, and a 'native' hotdog called 'Saugy" which is veal-based and grilled or boiled and split is FABULOUS with sauerkraut and grainy brown mustard. Of course if you want to venture into the EASTERN Massachusetts region, I believe there is a legendary lasagna (historically takes on a life of it's own) that's known by gourmandes in the West Boylston region...
