A truly exceptional offering in the heart of James A truly exceptional offering in the heart of Jamestown Village, this rare parcel is among the only remaining lots available in one of Rhode Island’s most coveted island communities. With town water and sewer available, an uncommon convenience for a property of this kind, the lot offers both immediate desirability and unusual ease of development. What makes this offering especially compelling is its enviable walkable location. Set in the center of the Village, the property allows for the kind of lifestyle that has become increasingly rare: mornings that begin with coffee from Slice of Heaven, evenings spent strolling to dinner at Beech, JB’s on the Water, Crudo, and other beloved local destinations, and easy walks to the beach, marina, and harbor. It is a setting that captures the quiet luxury of living beautifully, and conveniently, by the water. Thoughtfully positioned for privacy, the parcel is framed by mature hedging and a classic stone wall, creating a serene and secluded setting despite its remarkably central location. Planned 8-foot Green Giants will line the perimeter, further enhancing the sense of shelter and refinement. Ideally located just five minutes from Newport, the property also offers access to the scenic ferry from Jamestown Harbor. In the summer months, spend days and evenings gliding across the water to enjoy Newport’s celebrated music festivals, vibrant harborfront, fine dining, and charming boutiques, all without the need to drive or park. An extraordinary opportunity to create a private coastal retreat in one of Rhode Island’s most desirable seaside communities. Lot for sale or build-to-suit options are available. 78 Narragansett Avenue Jamestown, RI 0.23 Acre(s) Offered by @jennifer.crellin of Mott and Chace Sotheby’s International (@mottandchace) for $950,000.
For 46 years, @sardellas has been one of Newport’s For 46 years, @sardellas has been one of Newport’s most beloved restaurants. The kind of place where families celebrate milestones, friends gather over brick-oven pizza, and a simple midweek dinner can turn into an evening of live jazz, espresso martinis, and a room full of familiar faces. To celebrate their 46th birthday, Sardella’s is doing something special. Every Thursday in April, they’re turning back the clock and serving their original menu at the original prices from 46 years ago. Yes… the same dishes that first made Sardella’s a Newport institution. It’s their way of saying thank you to the community that has supported them for nearly half a century. Think of it as a little trip back in time — and the perfect excuse to gather around the table at one of Newport’s true classics. No reservations needed. Just come in, grab a table, and celebrate 46 years of Sardella’s. 📍 Sardella’s 30 Memorial Boulevard West Newport, RI
NEWPORT, R.I. — City officials are warning residen NEWPORT, R.I. — City officials are warning residents and businesses about a sophisticated scam targeting people with applications pending before Newport boards and commissions. According to the city, scammers are sending emails that appear to come from the Newport Planning Commission, referencing legitimate applications listed on public dockets. The messages include fake invoices demanding payment for permit reviews or Planning Commission fees. The emails often use official-looking city branding and instruct recipients to wire money to complete permit processing, officials said. City leaders stressed that Newport will never request permit or application fees via wire transfer and will never ask applicants to send payments outside the city’s official systems. “All official payments are processed through the city’s official payment systems or in person at city buildings,” officials said. Residents and business owners are urged to be cautious and avoid responding to suspicious messages. If you receive a questionable invoice, do not send payment or reply to the email, the city warned. Anyone who may have already paid a fraudulent invoice should immediately contact their bank and notify law enforcement. The city said warning signs of the scam include invoices claiming to be from the “City of Newport Planning Commission,” requests for wire transfer payments, instructions to email for payment details, and sender addresses that do not come from official city domains such as @cityofnewport.com or @newportri.gov. Messages sent from generic email services like Gmail or USA.com may also be part of the scheme. Anyone who receives a suspicious invoice is asked to contact the Newport IT Department at (401) 845-5400 or the Newport Police Department at (401) 847-1306. #newportri #newportbuzz
