With the Summer and Fall students starting to move in, many from other states and even other countries,\u00a0it’s the perfect time to point out all the great things here in the smallest state in the country.<\/p>\n
Movoto.com put\u00a0this list together and it\u00a0should help those newbies to little Rhody with their 28 things about Rhode Island.\u00a0 Now I would have ranked\u00a0Iggy’s and Del’s lemonade higher than their respective, 11 and 12\u00a0 spots but still I thought this is an excellent list.<\/p>\n

1. One Taste Of An Awful Awful Will Blow Your Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n The nickname of this delicious, creamy beverage, served at Newport Creamery, is short for \u201cAwful Big, Awful Good.\u201d It’s an extra thick milkshake that\u2019s made with ice milk and is oh-so incredibly tasty. Once you try it, you\u2019ll never want a milkshake from anywhere else.<\/p>\n 8. For A Hot Date Take Your Special Someone To WaterFire<\/strong><\/p>\n Everyone in Rhode Island knows that WaterFire is the best place to take a date. This award-winning sculpture by Barnaby Evans, presented on the rivers of downtown Providence, was first created in 1994 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of First Night Providence.<\/p>\n WaterFire has grown to become an annual public art phenomenon, where, on WaterFire evenings, downtown Providence is transformed by 100 bonfires that burn just above the surface of the three rivers that pass through the middle of downtown Providence.<\/p>\n The sight is truly a beautiful, so it\u2019s only natural this is a prime spot for young love.<\/p>\n 11. Or Make Your Taste Buds Dance With Some Of Iggy\u2019s Clam Cakes<\/strong><\/p>\n Iggy’s has been awarded Best Clam Shack honors from Rhode Island Monthly and featured nationally on CBS’s \u201cThe Early Show\u201d as their pick for the Best Clam Chowder as part of their: A Taste of America series. And it\u2019s no wonder why: Iggy’s is just a true Rhode Island tradition that features award winning doughboys, chowder, clam cakes, fish & chips, and more. But everyone\u2019s favorite is, by far, the clam cakes.<\/p>\n 12. Del\u2019s Lemonade Is Pretty Much The Nectar Of The Gods<\/strong><\/p>\n What is more refreshing than a Del\u2019s frozen lemonade on a hot summer day in Rhode Island? Nothing. The answer is nothing. Del\u2019s takes shaved ice to the next level: it\u2019s sweet, sour delicious flavor is part of what makes being a Rhode Islander so wonderful.<\/p>\n 18. But When It\u2019s Not Storming, Rhode Island Has The Best Beaches In New England<\/strong><\/p>\n In all honesty, Rhode Island beaches are by far the most quaint and beautiful in all of New England. They can be rocky, sandy, dramatic, or calm. So, a quintessential part of a Rhode Island is the feel of sand beneath your toes. Whether you head to the smaller beaches of Newport County or the more hidden beaches on Block Island, or a thrilling experience at the South County beaches where you\u2019ll find the best surfing of your life\u2014you\u2019re bound to enjoy the endless opportunities by the water.<\/p>\n
