Pawtuxet Village is one of the oldest surviving villages in the country. It is very historic with a mix of housing ranging from mansions on the bay to multi-family homes. The village offers great water vistas, historic homes and buildings, and the shopping centers has several wonderful places to dine.

This little area is quaint and offers a lot with regard to restaurants near look outs over the bay and the ability to walk the area, as well. There is a bakery and several restaurants that are worth visiting and trying out. We love going to this area for lunch, especially.

Cranston was rated in the top 10 worse cities in the USA.. It really has no redeeming value, nothing to see, or places to visit. It is filled with run down strip malls, old broken down buildings, houses.etc.. Not much going on.. the one redeeming spot is the village on Pawtuxet.. It has some great little shops and some nice...

Overcrowded and overpriced during this event, but otherwise, a nice place to walk around. Even the local restaurants were gouging visitors by charging wild prices for parking.

Pawtuxet Village is home to many 'home style' restaurants - no chains here. Edgewood Cafe is a very small restaurant serving up wonderful food - and is a BYOB also! It's very hard to get a seat - no reservations but if you can get in it's worth it. Try their fish and chips with garlic aioli - delish!
