USA Today recommends 10 neighborhoods in America where you can celebrate Christmas with a host of traditions, from pasta to parades. The neighborhoods include the French Quarter in New Orleans, Little Italy in New York City, and the North End in Boston.
Here's what they had to say about Federal Hill in Providence:
This small neighborhood centers on Atwells Avenue, which is marked by a piazza and an arch adorned with a pine cone, an Italian symbol for abundance and hospitality. It's like being in Florence. They have music during the summer, and you can sit outside and have coffee. Many people come for Venda Ravioli, a huge store with 200 types of pasta, a bustling bakery and aisles of specialty products.
