Romantic March Weekend in Newport - Activity %26amp; Dining

Here%26#39;s my two cents:

22 bowen - totally overrated and way over priced

One of the best meals in town is at the West Deck - always wondeful (or Trattroria Simpatico - 2 miles from newport in Jamestown)

Best breakfast - omelets at ocean breeze on lower thames accross from firehouse pizza - or for brunch - White Horse Taven - not cheap - but charming and romantic

Afternoon cocktail - black pearl, clarke cookhouse - both downtown on the wharfs
