Crime and Cuisine on Federal Hill
Overview
A food tour with a felonious twist!
The Federal Hill neighborhood of Providence is one of its hottest destinations, home to some of the best Italian food in the world. This tour will give you a smorgasbord of its best bites and drinks, from fine wines to family recipes passed down through generations. Come hungry!
Every guest will also get a memento from their time on the Hill to take home with them. Spoiler alert: it's delicious!
The Hill was also home to some historic characters who dabbled on the wrong side of the law. Follow the intrigue of State v. Patriarca, when a future mayor took on a mob boss; learn about the corruption which brought Rhode Island's banking system to its knees in the '90s, and about a raid on an illegal dice game that sent a Providence Police Officer through a second-story window.
Guests under 21 will not be served alcohol on this tour.
A min of four guests is required for all tours to run. If less than four are booked, we’ll contact you the morning.
