Old World charm prevails at Americas oldest indoor mall. The Arcade is in the heart of downtown Providence. Stroll under stained glass skylights and ironwork railings built in the Greek revival period, or enjoy tea and croissants on the first floor at one of the many eateries and delis from cafes and grilles to Asian fare. On the second floor are Gladdings Department Store and a hair salon. The Arcade hosts a shoe repair shop, a game and community center, and Center City Art, which features local artists and exhibits.
