Newport.

Here are a few photos from my little friend’s bachelorette weekend in Newport, RI. We had an amazing time enjoying the seaside town! We started off the weekend at Fluke, a fun wine bar with yummy appetizers. We ordered a lot of little dishes to share and I don’t think any of us were disappointed! The owner was very friendly and accommodating too, seeing as we came by around 11 o’clock just as the kitchen was about to close!

The next day we started off the morning with some brunch at the B&B and then spent the afternoon at the Atlantic Beach Club sitting by the water enjoying some nice cold beverages in the hot summer sun. Terrific.


The above and below pictures were taken on a sunset cruise in Newport Harbor. It was a perfect night with a perfect sunset. And the glasses of champagne were only a buck! So much fun. After the cruise we had dinner at Asterisk … a fun restaurant in an old garage! They had good apps and the martinis were just delish. Our waitress was a little spacey, but I can overlook that if it’s a good meal. And it WAS.



This last picture was taken at the Castle Hill Inn where we had brunch before heading back to Boston. It was so much fun to sit right on the water and see all the sailboats go by. We all had some mimosas for one last cheers to a fabulous weekend!

Marshall Slocum Inn

The Marshall Slocum Inn is an absolutely adorable little B&B in Newport, RI. I stayed there this past weekend with a couple of friends for a bachelorette celebration filled with good food, good wine and good times. Just a few minutes from town you’ll find this fabulous white house on Kay Street which is just the most wonderful little abode I ever did see. As soon as we walked in the front door we felt right at home. Since there were six of us, we had one room on the second floor of the house and then a little apartment around the back of the driveway. SO cute! The rooms are inviting, the beds cozy, the staff friendly and the breakfast is DELICIOUS. However, I think my favorite part of Marshall Slocum was the little porch swing on the front porch of the house. DREAM!

If you’re ever in Newport and are thinking of where to stay, consider this little B&B… it will not disappoint you!
