BY EMMA REYNOLDS | SEPTEMBER 7 2020 by Brittany Smith LT BOSTON LIFESTYLE TRAVEL A virtual visit to Providence sets the scene for future fun In many ways, tourists are the lifeblood of coastal towns the likes of Cape Cod, Nantucket, and the Hamptons. When the mercury swells, tourists descend on hot spots, eager to belly-up to a bar brimming with sun-scorched, wind-blown locals. Come winter, most of these eateries and hotels are shuttered. But for a city like Newport, Rhode Island, the shoulder season offers travelers a way to explore the destination like a local, which is to say sans crowds. Fourth-Century Fortresses, Verdant Ruins, and Hipster Dives: The 4-Day Weekend in Tbilisi, Georgia You won't be able to make the most of Newport's inimitable sailing scene, but you can spend the weekend ogling Gilded Age mansions; feasting at local haunts (fireside espresso martinis, anyone?); and cherry-picking activities by interest, whether that's perusing the International Tennis Hall of Fame, trying your hand at a mixology class, or ice skating on a waterfront rink. Use our travel guide to make the most of your time in the City by the Sea. Beavertail State Park photo provided The phrase "island hopping" might paint a picture of piña coladas in the Caribbean, but how about a beachy fall getaway closer to home? Throughout leaf-peeping season, Rhode Island beckons with still-warm days on uncrowded beaches and quaint seaside towns surrounded by foliage. Check out these four reasons to do some island-hopping even after the hubbub of the summer. Not sure when the foliage will hit its peak? Don't forget to check out this foliage map to see when it's coming to various parts of New England. For a quintessential New England seaside escape brimming with history, charm, Gilded Age mansions and fabulous seafood, head to Newport, Rhode Island, located on Aquidneck Island, just a short hop from Boston and New York City. Here, we bring you a luxury guide to this quaint coastal city. Whether you're a history buff or sailing aficionado, or you just adore classic, preppy New England style, Newport reigns as one of the East Coast's finest summer destinations thanks to its intimate luxury hotels, delicious restaurants, peaceful beaches, impressive (and competitive) sailing community and a dizzying array of historical attractions. Despite its historical significance as a getaway for America's most prominent families (Vanderbilts, Rockefellers and Kennedys, to name a few), Newport is an elegant yet approachable summer destination, best enjoyed on the water or by indulging in fried clams and lobster rolls in an Adirondack chair while watching the sunset. By MOIRA MCCARTHY! May 21, 2020 at 5:27 a.m. With travel peeking at us like a tiny slit of sunrise on the horizon, those who love to get away are feeling more confident, dreaming of future adventures. What city do you dream of exploring? Perhaps Paris? Maybe Madrid? Alas, it might be a wee bit longer before we can spend time in those locales. But there is good news: Those who love diving into the culture, food, people and just plain vibe of a new city can do just that, all within easy driving distance from Boston. Because when it comes to a fascinating culture, lovely setting and a menu of "to do" experiences that will mean more than one visit, nearby Providence may just have it all a world-class wanderlust-quenching adventure just an I-95 jaunt away. We tend to take it for granted, Providence. We zip by on our way to NYC, making sure to wave at the giant blue bug en route. We do the trip to Providence Place for holiday or prom dress shopping, but see little more. But there's a whole world to discover there. Like any thriving city, it's all about variety; lots of colorful yarns to make a great tapestry. There are art galleries and theaters, old-time restaurants and new-wave food choices. You'll find street art and fine arts, zoo life and neighborhood life. And now is the time to get familiar. 14 RHODE ISLAND
