THE ROOF DECK AT GRACE VANDERBILT
One of Newport’s best-kept secrets, the Roof Deck
has breathtaking views of both the beautiful bay
and the City by the Sea’s famous mansions. Enjoy
signature cocktails or pop off some Champagne
while unwinding after a full day of vacation she-
nanigans and taking in the sunset. Newport
MARE ROOFTOP
Sat atop a remodeled apartment building on the
East Side, Mare Rooftop is a fully enclosed rooftop
restaurant that offers sweeping sights of the Cre-
ative Capital year-round. Get a taste of the high life
while you enjoy Mare’s Mediterranean-inspired
dishes and drinks from the chic main dining area
wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows or from its
spacious outdoor patio. Providence

Newport skyline has to offer. Top of Newport also

night (and the calories) away. Newport

OGIE’S TRAILER PARK
Sure, an urban locale with “trailer park” in the name might not exactly conjure up tropical notions
for most, but Ogie’s is happy to rise to the challenge. Open Friday and Saturdays nights, Ogie’s
outdoor tiki bar serves up the vacation classics — including blue Hawaiians, pina coladas, tequila
sunrises and mai tais — as well as the vacation vibes with bright patio furniture, string lights, a
bonfire pit and cornhole. Providence
LA FORGE CASINO RESTAURANT
Having gladly served hundreds upon thousands of Newport residents and visitors throughout its
sixty years in operation, La Forge Casino Restaurant is a prime example of Newport’s rich culture
and atmosphere. Located on the grounds of the famed International Tennis Hall of Fame, patrons
are welcome (if not encouraged!) to enjoy their favorite New England-dishes (like fresh oysters,
shrimp scampi and baked stuffed lobster) from the comfort of the courtside patio. Newport
CAV
The renowned CAV in Providence has been pleasing regulars for many years, in part because
of the menu (which has included the likes of award-winning Foie Gras and Vichyssoise), but
also because of the restaurant’s ambience. While the exposed-brick interior filled with
worldly treasures and antiques procured by original CAV founder Sylvia Moubayed is something
of a marvel in itself, the eatery’s secluded outdoor patio creates a cozy atmosphere where
patrons can feel the Creative Capital’s energy humming through the fresh air. Providence
THE TREE HOUSE TAVERN AND BISTRO
Eclectic-yet-homey decor along with expertly prepared victuals makes the Tree House a great
spot for date night. Originally a florist shop, the Tree House has expanded into a thriving,
whimsical restaurant with secluded backyard-like seating. First, munch on some pulled pork
nachos and then try to pick between the savory dynamite noodle bowl or the lobster and
asparagus mac n’ cheese. Just make sure you leave room for dessert — the decadent trays
on display will be calling your name all night long. Warwick
GARDEN CITY
Of course Rhode Island’s favorite outdoor shopping destination is also going to be home to some
spectacular al fresco dining options. In fact, it’s home to ten. These include time-honored classics
like Newport Creamery, Bistro 22 and Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza as well as newbies-but-goodies
like the Simple Greek, Avvio, Tavern in the Square and Legal Sea Bar. Each eatery boasts a unique
menu, a first-rate staff and prime open-air seating, all of which are sure to satisfy anyone who
stops by after a full day of hitting the sales racks. Cranston
