East Providence

Ana's Bridal Boutique
456 Warren Avenue
+1 401-438-5932

This boutique offers designer collections and styles similar to those in stock at retail venues such as David’s Bridal or Macy’s, but the atmosphere promises to be exceptionally personal and inviting – something mainstream stores cannot compete with. However, this type of ambiance can be a bit overwhelming at times. Fitting rooms are nothing more than a curtain rod and fabric, providing more room for changing and less room for privacy - everyone in the store is able to view your dress and make comments and suggestions about its style and appearance on you, which does help in the decision making process.

American Rare Coin
311 Newport Avenue
+1 401-434-1440

Owned by Steve Inarelli who used to be a national coin appraiser, this hobby store is a collector’s dream come true! American Rare Coin is home to some of the world’s smallest and most valuable artifacts in nickel, gold, and copper. Authentic sport memorabilia baseball cards, autographed gloves, hats, and jerseys can also be found here for purchase or trade-ins. But don’t think it's all business all the time - Steve enjoys and even encourages collectors and browsers to stay and chitchat about life and the love one has for coins.

Your Ski Shop
459 Willet Avenue, Riverside
+1 401-433-5887

This is where your winter fun begins! Family owned and operated, the staff prides itself on remembering the names, habits, and preferences of frequent customers. Even more astounding is their knowledge about equipment maintenance, their ability to answer general skiing and snowboarding questions with ease, and their suggestions as to which mountains and trails are the best in New England and out west – oh the stories they can tell… all you have to do is ask. When in need of custom tuning or repairs, be sure to ask for Kevin or Tim – both men will treat your equipment as if it were their own. If you’re renting equipment every sales associate will ensure that all of the equipment not only fits, but is comfortable too. Be sure to ask for the seasonal lease so you can enjoy the equipment for longer, without having to return it. Plus it’s cheaper.
