      Newport RI doesn’t have palm trees.

    Newport seems like a really quaint town in New England, something I've been wanting to visit on my East Coast bucket list so I'm totally adding Newport to that. I loved learning about US History and New England has that 'old money' vibe that I have read in literature. Wonderful video to show that!!

    We live just 40 minutes from Newport and have visited it dozens of times; as recently as last Sunday. One of our favorite spots is Brenton Point State Park. Gorgeous vistas of the ocean and THE best place to fly a kite. Awesome restaurants, too. The Red Parrot is one of the best. Last week we took the ferry from Providence for the very first time after driving to Newport the past 45 years. For seniors it’s just $12 RT; which takes 1 hour. We did see the Umbrella art installation at Brick Alley. And took photos. Very cool. Another GREAT take-in is the Audrain Auto Museum on Bellevue Avenue. It’s small, but impressive. They change their exhibitions every three months! The next one begins this Saturday, Sept. 16. Jay Leno, a huge car enthusiast, himself, has been known to drop in every so often as he purchased, a few years ago, the beautiful Seafair mansion set back on Ocean Drive. At our visit last week one of the employees did tell us Jay IS expected at their Concours event at the end of September!

    I ate at the Newport Lobster Shack when I was in Newport 2 years ago! The lobster was pretty good there. Newport is quite a cool city.

That's why I've usually stayed up in Massachusetts during my road trips to that part of the US!

    Just returned from my trip - a December visit🙂) Tremendously enjoy watching your video again after the fact! Took the Amtrak from New York and a bus, for a whopping ....$2.-- 🙂 running roughly 1/2 hourly between Providence Kennedy Center and Newport close to Long Wharf...about an hour long ride with a few 'wave down' stops along the way... Tried the 6oz pure lobster sandwich to ....9oz wine🤭Even in December, the 11am lunch recommendation holds! Also had a couple of late afternoon stops at Bricks --a MUST! Lastly, the Cliff Walk on a December sunny day was out of this world! Thanks again for the video, it made the visit to Newport so real, so much fun - and, not alone!

    Wife and I stay and sail here often. I suggest one of the many bed and breakfasts in the area that way you can walk everywhere. The Mooring is a great restaurant for a couples night out but there is honestly no bad food in Newport. Also plenty of options to get out on the water on the charters. The Oyster Festival is amazing.

    Great video Chris. Some fun fats about Newport :: 1 John and Jacqueline Kennedy got married in Newport in 1953, more than likely @ the Church shown in the video and their reception was at her step father, Hugh Auchincloss' estate 2.Marble House was built for William Kassam and Alva Vanderbilt who was one of Anderson Cooper's ancestors. Their daughter Consuelo was a so called Dollar Princess.
    A Dollar Princess was a name given young wealthy American women of that era to the 1920s (think Cora Crowley, the Countess of Grantham , Elizabeth McGovern's character on ""Downton Abbey") who married English Aristocrats and in exchange, the doweries of the new Duchesses, Countesses, Viscountesses, Marchionesses and Baronesses were used to repair the family homes , the large country estates of their husbands. Winston Churchill's mother , Jennie Jerome and her sister were $$ princesses and they were also two of the many mistresses of King Charles' great great grandfather, Edward VII as was Queen Camilla's maternal great grandmother, Alice Keppel who wasn't a $$ princess. However, Princes William and Harry's great great grandmother on Diana's side (her paternal great grandmother) was a $ princess

It's so smooth there's no bits of that annoying ice in the cup. A variety flavors made by Italians with the machines direct from Italy.
