Summer 2016 in Pictures

September 22, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

After two difficult years, this summer has made up for time I thought I already lost. It was the first summer that I wasn’t either living or spending an extended period of time in Rhode Island—I thought I was going to be stuck in suburbia, perhaps make the occasional trip to New York City. I […]

Buck-A-Shuck at TwoTen Oyster Bar & Grill

May 5, 2015.Reading time 1 minute.

It’s been a while since I’ve been back at TwoTen Oyster Bar in Narragansett and I was pleasantly surprised at the weekday deals they were offering. Not only were they doing the Buck-A-Shuck oysters, but there were also $5.00 martini specials. I couldn’t resist the Tinderella martini, just because of the name. I’m still figuring […]

Plum Point Bistro

Just like The Duck & Bunny, Plum Point Bistro is another restaurant I’ve wanted check out for a while: Located on scenic 1A, just minutes from the Jamestown Bridge, Historic Casey Farm, and beautiful coastline of Southern Rhode Island.

Morning at the Beach

July 31, 2013.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I haven’t been able to go to the beach during the day, but now I’m going to try and find the time to go before work in the morning. I brought breakfast and packed makeup and a change of clothes so I could leave straight from the beach to Newport. Here’s to waking up to […]

Drink Del’s and Keep Shopping

July 22, 2013.Reading time 4 minutes.

The humidity in Rhode Island is a plague–it is actually repulsive and lethal… For people with curly hair. The two times I managed to go to the beach with the family, we had gone late afternoon, so it wasn’t unbearable by 3:00 pm. Drinking Del’s and Trenta-sized Starbucks doesn’t hurt either. There are some great […]

Newport/Narragansett: Thanksgiving and Small Business Saturday Haul

November 25, 2012.Reading time 4 minutes.

My family and I had a great Thanksgiving–all I have to say is that our fridge is filled with leftovers and pies. My cousin and her son joined us for dinner, and we were happy to have them. We saw Lincoln (2012) in the evening. It was a good film, but it would have been […]

Narragansett: Hurricane Sandy

October 30, 2012.Reading time 2 minutes.

My family and I have been without power for the past 21 hours–hopefully it’ll come back soon. Around 3:00 pm, the lights went out. The wind was howling, the trees bent every which way, the rain pounded on the window skylights. It was crazy. We lit candles and brought out the crank-powered emergency radio and […]

Barrington/Narragansett: Preppy Pig BBQ

September 24, 2012.Reading time 1 minute.

My family and I went to a family friend’s BBQ in Barrington this afternoon. It was the perfect weather to be out and enjoy the early days of fall. I honestly try to avoid eating red meat as possible, but the catering company who worked the BBQ did a great job on the brisket–it was […]
