Things To Do
Diego's
Great Mexican food and incredible margaritas! Great vibes for a casual, lively meal.

Newport Blues Café
A lively bar with great live music, perfect for a fun night out. Where the bride and groom hope to end up on Friday night.
Slice of Heaven
A charming café perfect for breakfast or a pastry stop before a day of exploring.
Cool Beans Cafe RI
A great local coffee shop known for its laid-back vibe and delicious drinks. We recommend the acai bowl!
Brickley's Ice Cream
Known for its homemade ice cream and wide variety of delicious flavors.
Matunuck Oyster Bar
A short drive from Newport, but well worth it for fresh seafood served right on the water. A personal favorite, where we've been kicking off summer for years!
Block Island Day Trip
If you have time, a day trip to Block Island is a great way to soak in some classic Rhode Island coastal vibes. Ferries run from Point Judith (year-round, vehicle & passenger) and Newport (seasonal, passenger only), making it an easy and scenic ride over. Once you’re there, grab a bike or moped to cruise around and grab a mudslide at The Oar.
The Oar
If you take a trip to Block Island, we highly recommend The Oar. A must-visit for fresh seafood, sushi, and their famous mudslides, all with a perfect harbor view. The wings, sushi and mudslides (albeit an unlikely combo) are well worth the ferry ride over.
Ballard's Hotel
A lively beachfront destination with great food, drinks, and live music—perfect for a fun, relaxing afternoon.
Spring House Hotel
It’s a stunning spot with a beautiful wraparound porch and lawn seating, perfect for enjoying cocktails with an ocean view. The historic charm, incredible scenery, and great food make it a must-visit while on the island.
