Everything you need to know before you go to Newport Rhode Island! Newport is a small Seaside city well known in the New England region as a popular summertime beach resort with a yacht filled harbor. It’s often called the Sailing Capital of America and hosted the America’s Cup for many years. And home to some of America’s biggest mansions. The most famous is called “The Breakers” - built in 1895 to resemble a renaissance palace.

For the history buffs among your viewers, some points of interest, in addition to the many mansions, are the Touro Synagogue National Historic Site (oldest synagogue in the USA), the Redwood Library and Athenaeum (colonial library in its original building), Newport Tower, the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport Museum of History, and, for food, White Horse Tavern (outstanding upscale restaurant in an historic 1673 building -- "America's Oldest Tavern").

Newport is gorgeous is the winter, especially around Christmas time. The mansions are all decorated - it's a great time to go to Newport. I would recommend. Newport never gets super cold in the winter because of the jet stream- unlike more northern areas on New England.

That Newport Marriott is so great. Stayed there many times, but I won’t pay $500 a night. Id rather give that money to a southern destination

@kristina_kruglova 9 ай бұрын

Newport seems like a really quaint town in New England, something I've been wanting to visit on my East Coast bucket list so I'm totally adding Newport to that. I loved learning about US History and New England has that 'old money' vibe that I have read in literature. Wonderful video to show that!!

We live just 40 minutes from Newport and have visited it dozens of times; as recently as last Sunday. One of our favorite spots is Brenton Point State Park. Gorgeous vistas of the ocean and THE best place to fly a kite. Awesome restaurants, too. The Red Parrot is one of the best. Last week we took the ferry from Providence for the very first time after driving to Newport the past 45 years. For seniors it’s just $12 RT; which takes 1 hour. We did see the Umbrella art installation at Brick Alley. And took photos. Very cool. Another GREAT take-in is the Audrain Auto Museum on Bellevue Avenue. It’s small, but impressive. They change their exhibitions every three months! The next one begins this Saturday, Sept. 16. Jay Leno, a huge car enthusiast, himself, has been known to drop in every so often as he purchased, a few years ago, the beautiful Seafair mansion set back on Ocean Drive. At our visit last week one of the employees did tell us Jay IS expected at their Concours event at the end of September!

I ate at the Newport Lobster Shack when I was in Newport 2 years ago! The lobster was pretty good there. Newport is quite a cool city. I really enjoyed the Cliff Walk during both of my visits there. I agree that the hotels are very expensive there! That's why I've usually stayed up in Massachusetts during my road trips to that part of the US!

Wife and I stay and sail here often. I suggest one of the many bed and breakfasts in the area that way you can walk everywhere. The Mooring is a great restaurant for a couples night out but there is honestly no bad food in Newport. Also plenty of options to get out on the water on the charters. The Oyster Festival is amazing.

Great video Chris. Some fun fats about Newport :: 1 John and Jacqueline Kennedy got married in Newport in 1953, more than likely @ the Church shown in the video and their reception was at her step father, Hugh Auchincloss' estate 2.Marble House was built for William Kassam and Alva Vanderbilt who was one of Anderson Cooper's ancestors. Their daughter Consuelo was a so called Dollar Princess. A Dollar Princess was a name given young wealthy American women of that era to the 1920s (think Cora Crowley, the Countess of Grantham , Elizabeth McGovern's character on ""Downton Abbey") who married English Aristocrats and in exchange, the doweries of the new Duchesses, Countesses, Viscountesses, Marchionesses and Baronesses were used to repair the family homes , the large country estates of their husbands. Winston Churchill's mother , Jennie Jerome and her sister were $$ princesses and they were also two of the many mistresses of King Charles' great great grandfather, Edward VII as was Queen Camilla's maternal great grandmother, Alice Keppel who wasn't a $$ princess. However, Princes William and Harry's great great grandmother on Diana's side (her paternal great grandmother) was a $ princess

A few other things in Newport worth your time (in my opinion) that are good ANYTIME of year: The Audrain Auto Museum, exhibits change often! Tennis Hall of Fame, if you like tennis. Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, coastal wildlife hike, in between 2nd and 3rd beach. Tip: Book a sail of the harbor in advance.
