Ethan Anthony's Italian Deli

You'll make the amazing discovery that fire and water actually do mix when you visit WaterFire Providence. This is an actual sculpture by Barnaby Evans that has been installed on the three rivers of downtown Providence. This powerful work of art comes alive as several bonfires are lit on the surface of the water and it illuminates the paths and surrounding areas of Waterplace Park. First lit in 1994, WaterFire Providence has come to symbolize the city's spirit of resilience. The attraction has also revitalized the city's downtown area, as this popular spectacle has attracted nearly ten million visitors since it first appeared.
