After breakfast, we drove to Newport to check out the Historic Newport Cliff Walk. The warm November sun may have been a contributing factor, but I adored this Cliff Walk. Walking along the water was so peaceful and we loved admiring the mansions along the way.

As the rain started to fall, we made our way to Federal Hill for the best happy hour deals at Providence Oyster Bar. One dollar oysters/shrimps/clams and $6 for basically anything else. The extensive cocktail menu and oyster shooters were also a treat. If I'm ever back in Providence, I will be sure to go back!

We had our fill of oysters and felt guilty about hogging prime seats at the bar, so we walked down the street to find a dark and dingy dive bar calling our name. Rock an Rye had 90s music playing and board games galore (Jenga, Connect Four, etc.). Not the classiest place, but that's not what were were looking for either.


Rhode Island surprised me in the best way possible. Luckily for me, an ER doctor's residency lasts three years so I have an air mattress in Stephanie's apartment awaiting my return! On my next visit, I'd like to do a Newport Mansion Tour, wander around downtown Providence and the Federal Hill neighborhood in better weather, eat brunch at Kitchen, and visit Roger Williams Park.
