"We were talking with our friends in Warwick and Blackstone Valley and we really don’t like to operate in silos — we really like to work together — and we realized that we had the north of Rhode Island covered," said Adamo. "People are just dying to get out of their house."

"So we developed a series of thematic tours you can take throughout the northern half of Rhode Island depending on what you’re interested in and there are hotel packages on either end of the drive, so if you want to make a weekend of it, or a two-day stay of it, it’s joyridesri.com," she said.

About the Rides

"We tried to make it a mix of things Rhode Islanders would love, and things that out-of-towners could enjoy. And we tried to encompass all cities," said Adamo "We have some Cumberland in there — you don’t think of Cumberland as this red-hot tourist destination — but there’s cool stuff! There’s Central Falls, Lincoln. And we did them thematically. One I like is breakfast — people love breakfast, all times of day."

"And we did one called RI classics — dynamites and pizza strips — and you can’t not have calamari," she added.
