Much of Providence culture is synonymous with Rhode Island culture. Like the
state, the city has a non-rhotic accent that can be heard on local media.
Providence also shares Rhode Island's affinity for coffee, as the former has
the most coffee/doughnut shops per capita of any city in the country.
Providence, like many other towns, is also reputed to have the highest number
of restaurants per capita, many of which founded and/or staffed by its own Johnson
& Wales University graduates. Providence has several ethnic neighborhoods,
notably Federal Hill and the North End (Italian), Fox Point (Portuguese), West
End
