The Breakers will be beautifully decorated for the holidays and is the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages". It was commissioned in 1893 by Cornelius Vanderbilt II, the Chairman and President of the New York Central Railroad system. Tickets can be purchased in advance via the provided Newport Mansions website.
Enjoy the festive shops and restaurants!
A few lunch / dinner recommendations: Midtown Oyster Bar, The Mooring, Bar Cino (try the flatbreads!), Clarke Cooke House (classic Newport vibes & cocktails), The Black Pearl, 22 Bowen's Wine Bar & Grille
