A review of this place: Alive With Pleasure — 1 year ago
Definitely make time to visit the Astors Beechwood Mansion! I have been to Newport twice and this was on my list of things to do and see both times! It is a living history museum and your tour guide is a historian/actor playing the part of someone who long ago lived or visited there. These guides are very good and able to answer any questions you may have about the history of the house or Newport and the historic figures who come to life around you.
I always have fun passing over the Claiborne Pell bridge. It one of the largest suspension bridges in the world! (I wouldn’t even talk about something like a bridge unless it was definitely worth seeing!) The best place for shopping, in my opinion, would be the Long Wharf Mall! It has a great variety of shops and has a cozy feel to it. The Red Parrot is a wonderful place to eat, though expect at least an hour and a half wait for a table. There are also a ton of amazing ice cream shops and beautiful parks where you can just sit and relax.
