The Black Pearl has the best clam chowder I’ve ever had. I was a Navy nurse and in the winter when I finished an afternoon shift I would often go to The Pearl for a bowl of chowder and a dram. They would have a potbellied stove going while someone sang sea chanties. It was magical.

We love to sit at Brenton Point and watch the seals, or fly a kite.

A must for dinner in Newport is Sardella’s. Voted many times the best Italian restaurant in Newport. Also a must is Imbriglio’s. Voted best high end pizza restaurant. You will not be disappointed eating at either restaurant or both

Don’r miss the Redwood Library – a real gem! Much more than a library, it has a great art collection, local history, spectacular architecture, and often houses concerts,etc.

In reply to Michael. Update,( I should have checked before I texted) the Newport Armory antique shop has found a new location,130 Broadway.. that is the local business strip of shops as you enter from Middletown from the north on rte 114... Good for them!

Sad news for you..The Newport Antique center has closed.Located on Thames St. in the old Armory building in the heart of town,it was a few facto visitor’s center for years, complete with public restrooms…it Won’t be the same without it, gone the way of progress…a silver lining is the news that after a refurbishment the site will contain a new attraction..”The Sailing Hall of Fame”, and the Antique center’s owners are reportedly scouting new locations.But I don’t think it likely they will find anywhere in the Old Town.. keep a lookout…

A fun thing to do is the Rhode Island Red Food Tours where you go to 7 restaurants and learn some good history of colonial Newport as you walk through the historic neighborhood. It’s in the non touristy section of the city with really good restaurants we went back to now that we know they are there.
