Food Scene
Friendly staff and great food. It's a small space but that is part of the charm and appeal.
A great selection of beers on tap, the place to go for microbrews.
For dinner get their early for the nightly norey special. And if you want wings, this is your place to go, recommend the General Tso.

Bob serves up some of the best coffee on the island. He roasts some amazing blends of coffee. When we go we have to buy bags of coffee to enjoy at home. The Indonesian is probably our favorite.

Matt and Anna have some of the best sandwiches and pastries around. They make everything fresh, so they take the extra time to get your food right. Also, once they run out of things, they run out, so get there early or call ahead with your order.

Get there early because the food is so good that by 0900 you can not find an empty seat in the house. But it is worth the wait. Put your name on the list, stroll on down to Empire and grab a coffee while you wait.
Corner Cafe is not just for breakfast any more, they have a fantastic dinner menu. It's BYOB but if you forget stroll down to Rex Liquors and let them know you are eating at Corner Cafe.

Broadway is the place go hit when you are in Newport and Caleb and Broad is one of the spots you don't want to miss. In the summer get outside and enjoy your cocktail. In the winter warm up inside with a hearty beer.
The foot is creative and fun. Also, Caleb and Broad is excellent at accommodating dietary needs like gluten intolerance.

This burger blows my mind. Thankfully we have to drive to get there from our house, or my husband and I would eat these burgers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The classic burger is great, but the Mickey D is a nice homage to that classic burger you had as a kid. Beware the french fries, they are so delicious that you run the risk of eating so many you will run out of room for your burger.

On the weekend you can get one of the best benedict breakfasts, they only make them on the weekend because the hollandaise is made fresh. But don't worry, if you go during the week you'll get a great breakfast with some of our favorite breakfast potatoes on the island. Atlantic Grille is open for dinner, we don't go for dinner as often as we should, but every time we do go, the meal hits the spot.

This is not your college dorm ramen, this is noodles made for adults. The bowls are generous and great for sharing. Our favorite, brussels spouts. The menu is seasonal so you get the freshest vegetables, but they keep some staples on the menu year round, like the house ramen.

Parks & Nature
Almost every trip we've made to Sachuest we've had an animal encounter. Usually deer, bunnies, and turkeys. Keep your eyes open, you never know what you'll see.
This is a very gentle walk, just watch out for the mud if you go after a rainy day.
Open daily from sunrise to sunset.

Sightseeing
You might miss this, even if you go to the beach and stare right at it. The chasm is a glacial cleft that's about 10 feet wide and 50 feet deep. But with every great spot in town, there is a story behind that chasm. One story says that the devil made the chasm when he was chopping off the head of a Native American Maiden who he was unhappy with.
