Take A Bite Out Of
Rhode Island!
Book Today!
Summertime in Rhode Island and its surrounding areas is simply incomparable, as most
locals (including this one!) will attest. Nonetheless, we also must acknowledge that the summer
of 2020 may be a little, well, different. It is my sincerest hope that by the time you get your
hands on this guide, you are able to thoroughly enjoy the warmer months in these parts,
including our miles of coastline (see which stretch of sand is calling your name by checking
out our beach chart on page 48), our deluge of family fun (page 62) and adult-friendly activities
(see: the brewery breakdown on page 52, bar list on page 54 and vineyard trail on page 58),
our extensive foodie scene (feast your eyes on page 12 for seafood staples, 18 for al fresco

options, 24 for global eats and 26 for the best of the brunch), our diverse shopping destinations
(page 32) and more.
However, in the event that some of the stricter COVID-19-related limitations are still in place,
we’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of social-distancing-approved doings. Flip to page 64
to see how you can still get your Ocean State fix — and just remember to keep the suggestions
from the rest of the book in mind for later this year or even summer 2021.
So, whether you’re a newcomer (welcome!) or a local (hey neighbor!), or whether you’re out
and about or stuck inside, I’m confident that this guide will help you make the most of this
glorious season in Little Rhody and beyond.
Have a wicked good summer!
