It's still pretty New Englandy in southern RI as well but you're apt to see more visitors from NY along HWY 1 as well as second homes.

Plus, it gets more Italian and less Portuguese the more south you go. South Kingston during the summer is like a Jersey Shore Lite. And “coffee” gets that much closer to “kwafee”. But it’s still coming from a Dunkin, a Honey Dew, or a Cumbie’s (which is most likely selling Dunkin or Honey Dew).
Alex Bornstein does a great job nailing the RI accent for her Lois Griffin voice acting: mostly a Boston accent, but with certain New York traits here and there. “Coffee” is a big giveaway whether someone is from RI or from Mass.
