Your state might be small, but it’s big on fun. Try to think of the last time you went island hopping, chartered a fishing boat or cruise, or went out to dinner for native Rhode Island beverages and cuisine, like coffee milk, Rhode Island wieners and grinders, Chouriço, dynamites, “stuffies”, clam bakes, and Quahogs. Did you even know that many of these recipes are unique to your state alone and can only be found there? After a tasty meal, try your luck at one of the Rhode Island casinos; take a stroll along the shore; or book a hotel or bed and breakfast for the night. Just because your state is small doesn’t mean you’ve seen it all or there’s not much to do. So get out there and see what your state has to offer. |

| Nicknamed “The Ocean State” for its close ties to the Atlantic Ocean, no one is more than a 30 minute drive from the water’s edge. Other fun facts are that Rhode Island is America’s smallest state by size, has the largest concentration of Italians and Italian-Americans, was the first to declare its independence from Britain, and the last to ratify the constitution. Narragansett Bay contains many of the states natural islands, of which there are 30 total. Aquidneck and Block Island are two of the more popular. Rhode Islanders have some unique beverages and foods to their credit, like coffee milk, the state’s official beverage, which is milk mixed with coffee syrup. Another is a version of lemonade using a mixture of ice slush, fresh lemons, and sugar. Other culinary eccentricities include wieners (small hot dogs covered in a meat sauce, chopped onions, mustard, and celery salt), grinders (a special type of submarine sandwich), Chouriço and peppers (sausage and peppers), and dynamites (sloppy-joes with peppers and onions on torpedo rolls). A “stuffie” is a large clam mixed with spicy minced sausage stuffing, baked in a clam shell shell. Shellfish, chowders, clam cakes, and other seafoods are also popular in the state. Once visitors get their fill of the state’s delicious cuisine, they often head to one of the many casinos, take a stroll along the beach in summer months, or go for a relaxing boat ride among the islands.
