Our favorite place in Newport for Mexican food - definitely try the guacamole!

Craving some oysters? This is the place to go!
Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant
A casual and very popular spot for American pub food and drinks. Great for kids too.

Before the big day, feel free to grab some drinks on The Lawn at Castle Hill. The views simply can't be beat!

Gurney's Newport Resort & Marina
For my Bachelor/Bachelorette fans, if you want to see where an episode of Hannah B's season was taped, check out Gurney's on Goat Island!

Designed to be the most heavily armed fort in America, Fort Adams is a great place to enjoy a concert, pack a picnic, or just walk around. An episode of Hannah B's season of the Bachelorette was also filmed here (remember the infamous rugby match with Luke P?).
