Flower Show

Does anyone have a recommendation for a nice place for late lunch after visiting the Flower Show in Providence. We are planning on going on Thurs. Feb 19 or Fri. Feb 20.

Flower Show

These sound great, got the coupons. Do you know if it is a doable walk in the winter?

Flower Show

This would a doable walk in the winter - Mediterraneo is .45 miles from the convention center and caffe dulce vita is just a tiny bit farther. There is a considerable amount of traffic though right around the convention center and you will have to walk over 1-95 to reach Federal Hill where these restaurants are, so you might consider hopping in a cab - wouldn%26#39;t be more than a 3-5 minute ride though!

Hope this helps!

Two short block from the Convention Center is Local 121. Beautiful restaurant with great food. Check them out at:www.local121.com

Katie, this is bordering on advertising/self promotion, as you are only recommending places that are on your site.

I%26#39;ve been doing some looking around, how is the Trinity Brew House?

I would be a bit suspect about her recommending Dulce so highly - the best I have ever heard is that it is ok and that Fed Hill has much better places. And please stay away from Trinity Brew House. The brews they make are mediocre to bad. Go to Union Station for better beer, food and atmosphere.

There are some nice options right downtown....Local 121 is a new, somewhat upscale restaurant serving locally based foods....there is also a good Italian restaurant on Westminster St.--Mama Theresa or something like that. These are closer than the Hill. Frankly, with the looks of that newish Chinese restaurant, I%26#39;m disappointed with Atwells, although I%26#39;m dying to try that authentic Mexican place way down at the end.

Are there any unbiased recommendations? We will stay away from the Brew House, too bad, cause it looked like a great old building. We would like to be able to walk, but really don%26#39;t know too much about the city.

looking for a waterview site in bristol ri for a small intimate wedding

This isn%26#39;t in Bristol, but I recommend Fort Adams in Newport. You can have them on the north lawn over looking the east passage. www.fortadams.org.

wedding site

There is a lovely house in downtown Bristol which is steps away from the ocean and they do weddings. I think its called the Linden House. Not cheap, but very pretty. Try googling under that name, I may have spelled it wrong. There are restaurants that run one street back from the waterfront with a small park/marina space in front of them- maybe you could google restaurants in Bristol and see if their descriptions mention their location and give them a call.

Colt State Park is really pretty. One of my good friends had her wedding photos taken there and one of my best friends is getting married there this summer.

Last Leg of Vacation Help

We are in the middle of planning a vacation in Boston/Cape Cod. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage boys.

So far I have booked 3 nights in Jurys Boston (30 June-2 July) to see the city, do some shopping etc. We have rented a house in Chatham from 4th to 11th July. We are overwhelmed by variety and choice - so we are undecided about our next move. We were thinking of going to Newport as we have 5 days left before we return to Boston. As we will be close to a beach for the week in Chatham - we were thinking of opting for something self catering near a lake (just a thought). We love little quaint towns etc.

We would be very grateful if you had any ideas.

Nothing like that fits the bill in Newport, there are no weekly rentals like that. Perhaps up towards the lakes region of NH?

Thanks for replying. I see you are a local. What would you recommend in the area for say 5 days or so - we are very easy to please. We are fine with hotels/inn etc. also I just find the planning has been difficult as I have only been to USA a few times and they were all trips to NY on shopping/ ight seeing trips I am very dependant on %26#39;hear say%26#39; and tips people are giving me. All advice would be most gratefully accepted.

Well, Newport has a lot to offer the visitors. In the summer, all of the mansions are open for tours. The Cliff Walk and Ocean drive are all nice places to realx with. There are beaches in town, but as you said, since you%26#39;ll be coming from a week on the Cape, that probably won%26#39;t be high on your list.

The harbor will be bustling with activity that time of year, boat rides, restaurants and shops etc...

You could also do a day trip over to Block Island and explore that unique island.

From Newport, you can also explore other parts of the state quite easily.

Check out www.gonewport.com to get an idea of what the area has to offer.

You can go online and find some weekly rentals with kitchens in Middletown, the town next to Newport. In particular, there are a number of such units in the area near First, or Newport, Beach.

Many of these are quite nice; I%26#39;ve had relatives stay in such accomodations in the past.

Need help with hotel or B&B in March!

Hi all! I am trying to plan a weekend in Newport with my boyfriend at the end of March to celebrate our anniversary. We haven%26#39;t been on a real trip together for a few years, so I%26#39;m trying to find somewhere to stay that will be really nice, located downtown (near Thames St) with parking, and isn%26#39;t too expensive (grad students!). I%26#39;m also not sure whether to go hotel or B%26amp;B, we%26#39;ve never stayed in a B%26amp;B and I%26#39;ve seen some great deals for this time of year. I also have a AAA membership, so I was hoping to maybe get a discount with that. Any suggestions would be very helpful, thank you!

Need help with hotel or B%26amp;B in March!

On the left, click on the Newport Hotel links for some reviews and comments. There are so many diffeerent options around town. Some favorites of posters around here include the Francis Malbone House, Newport Blues Inn, Hydranga House, etc...the big 4 Hotels are Hyatt, Mariott, Newport Harbor Hotel, and the Hotel Viking. There are also several Inns that can be affordable, America%26#39;s Cup Inn, Jailhouse Inn, etc.

FYI, the weekend of 3/14 is the annual St. Patrick%26#39;s Day Parade and festivities. Prices will be high and the town will be very crowded along with all of the bars, restaurants etc....if you%26#39;re looking for a quite getaway, that is NOT the weekend to come.

Other than that, you should be able to find some deals for lodging, as it%26#39;s not quite the spring season yet. You might also be able to get the hyatt, Viking, Mariott, newport Harbor Hotel on Hotwire or Priceline cheap too.

Another option you might consider would be The Admiral Fitzroy Inn, which is a personal favorite of my wife and I. It has an excellent location on Thames Street, free off street parking, wireless internet, very friendly and helpful staff, and won%26#39;t break the bank compared to many Newport properties. Check out the reviews on this site, and you%26#39;ll see what I mean.

This inn is basically a cross between a b%26amp;b, and a hotel. Cozy, but you don%26#39;t feel like you%26#39;re a staying in someone%26#39;s home. Kind of a european hotel experience.

Don%26#39;t know what you%26#39;re budget is, but you can check out their rates and specials at their website www.admiralfitzroyinn.com

If this place is not what you%26#39;re looking for, follow Milemarker%26#39;s suggestion and check out the reviews for the other hotels and b%26amp;b%26#39;s in town on this site.

One way or the other, you%26#39;re sure to find something that works for you. Good luck, and have a great trip!

Thanks for these suggestions! I had looked at Hydrangea House and some of the other B%26amp;Bs before, but their rates seemed a bit high for us. I haven%26#39;t heard of the admiral fitzroy inn before, is breakfast served as part of staying there? We have never stayed in a B%26amp;B before, so we want to make our first time at one memorable!

I also should mention that we%26#39;re going the 27th and 28th, thanks for the heads up about St. Patrick%26#39;s Day!

Yes, the Fitzroy does provide breakfast. Although we have never sampled it personally,(we always go to Fathoms for breakfast no matter where we stay) it is very good according to the reviews.

Agree, the Adm. Fitzroy Inn fits your preferences. The place gets rave comments about its innkeeper and staff.

Spring House Commons house rental, feedback anyone?

Thinking about renting one of the houses on the Commons for a week for a small family get-together. I%26#39;d really appreciate hearing from anyone with experience renting one of these houses. I am familiar with BI and the Spring House Hotel but would feel better about spending a ton of $$$ on a weeks rental if I heard others had a good experience....appreciate a reply!

30 somethings planning a 3 day weekend in New England area

Does anyone have a suggestion on a 3 day weekend trip in the New England areas.....Rhode Island, Mass., Vermont, Conn. Looking to go March 20-23. Want to have some good local foods and drinks. Take in a little history, sites along the way. Maybe a winery...but not a must. Like to stick to the locally spots as opposed to touristy. Thank you!

30 somethings planning a 3 day weekend in New England area

I would stick to RI and CT. There are plenty of interesting spots on the way to RI. Western MA and VT will be colder annd could still be plenty of snow around.

I really think you will be happy in Newport, RI!
