Affordable midweek escape to Newport, RI is the perfect antidote for the winter blues
Newport, RI- With unprecedented low rates, a memorable getaway to Newport County is within everyone's reach. From now until May 15, 2008, Newport's historic hotels, quaint inns and bed & breakfasts are offering midweek rates starting as low as $39 at participating properties. The savings on the accommodations will leave visitors with extra spending money to explore all that Newport County has to offer.
Once in Newport, you will learn a secret that locals look forward to each year. Newport's fine restaurants offer incredible specials throughout the winter months to entice diners, even on the coldest winter night. Christie's, a unique restaurant with a retro feel, offers 2 entrees and a bottle of wine for $26.95 every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Head to Fluke for harbor views and its daily three-course prix fixe menu for only $20.08, featuring fresh local seafood and produce. Try the Atlantic Beach Club's Menu Madness, where every Wednesday all entrees (except lobster) are $12.95.
Whether you're looking for a unique home decor piece to remember a Newport getaway, the perfect accessory to complement a special outfit, that hard-to-find gift, or exceptional antiques, Newport is home to boutique shops and unique stores offering something to appeal to every shopper's signature style. Another insider's tip is that The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts encourages the growth and success of talented local artists by allowing sales of articles handcrafted in Rhode Island to be exempt from sales tax.
On any day in Newport County, the opportunities for recreation and entertainment are endless and winter is no exception. The Norman Bird Sanctuary is a 300-acre nature preserve with 7-miles of hiking trails. Birding is best during the winter months, but unique yoga classes and hikes with an incredible ocean view are also enjoyable. Visit the Gilded Age mansions that were once the summer playground of the social elite or wander through the Newport Art Museum. Spend the afternoon in our award-winning vineyards or relax and rejuvenate in one of our many spas.
