Newport is committed to shopping local! Every Monday, swing by Miantonomi Park on the corner of Dexter and Hillside Avenue for the town’s newest marketplace: The Miantonomi Farmer’s Market. To get your groceries Wednesday-style, head over to Aquidneck Growers’ Market in Memorial Blvd Park right across from International Tennis Hall of Fame. In observance of their plastic bag ban policy, remember to bring your own container – we recommend Sea Bags’ new series “doggie bags” that are available at their store along Bowen’s Wharf!

Your date will be mesmerized by the picturesque views while you sip on complimentary champagne and beer aboard Sightsailing’s cruise. Let this romantic experience mark either the end or the beginning to an unforgettable night in Newport!

Come and experience the luxe atmosphere of 22 Bowen’s Wine Bar & Grille, located directly by the waterfront. Feast your eyes on our vibrant indoor setting that provides an upscale dining sensation or head outside to Portside for summer cocktails and casual cuisine while you take in all Newport has to offer during its season! Reserve today for a night you won’t forget!

Don’t forget to leave some space for a delicious dessert from Sprinkles! From classic hard scoop, soft serve, milkshakes and Italian ice – you can find something to satisfy your sweet cravings with your date. To ensure that all of that sweetness doesn’t cause messes in the car afterwards, enjoy them on their comfortable patio.
