You will enjoy tasty bites from five restaurants as you stroll the historic streets of Newport, Rhode Island. The experience starts in front of the Wave sculpture on the corner of America’s Cup Ave and Memorial Blvd, and combines food stops with a walking exploration of the town.

Along the way you will hear stories about Newport’s infamous pirates and the Revolutionary War armies that passed through. The tour will also cover the Gilded Age — with its mansions and industrialist legacies — and trace the city’s Irish American heritage up to the later condominium boom. Expect a mix of culinary sampling and local history as you move through the neighbourhoods.

Bring your appetite; the route is designed to pair flavours with the places and stories you encounter.
