Walkscore.com is a website that calculates the walkability of a city. Highly walkable cities like New York, San Fransisco and Boston have scores like 83, 86 and 79 out of a 100, respectably. My campus is a little too far from the action to have a good walk score. It's 28, but my last place a residency was in the teens, however. The 2nd best place I ever lived was Oak Cliff, TX which has a walk score of 68 out of 100.
The beauty of Providence, Rhode Island is, it's easy to take a 15-20 minute bus to areas with walk scores of 95 out of 100:
The vegetarian scene is booming, especially compared to Texas. There's Nice Slice on Thayer St which has amazing vegan, vegetarian & meat pizzas. I hate paying $17 for a pizza, but it's enough for 4 or 3 really hungry people. THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE I'VE EATEN SO FAR, but here's some great places I've found:
East Side Pocket: A really popular middle eastern restaurant, that is cheap and half of their menu is veggie.
Taste of India: An Indian buffet that is cheaper, looks way tastier and has more veggie options than the Star India so many DFdubbers has been forced to settle for.
Since Providence is such a college town (over 5 major universities) one of our two Whole Foods has a college night every week.
