It was an evening of long goodbyes on February 19 It was an evening of long goodbyes on February 19 when fans of The Newport Tartan gathered at The Surf Club. According to LAOH president Kathryn Brady, long goodbyes are the ultimate compliment in a city where festivities happen multiple times a week and Irish exits are the norm. You’ve likely spotted the Newport Tartan around town, the cobalt blue scarf, tie or kilt woven with crisscrossing lines of green, yellow, white, red, and black. The pattern was created by Kelley Coen and endorsed by the Newport City Council in 2020 as the city’s official tartan. Coen copyrighted and registered the design with the Scottish Register of Tartans (#12919) in September 2020. Net proceeds from scarf, tie, and related product sales support scholarships, nonprofit organizations, and events celebrating Newport’s diversity, history, and community. Coen recently visited the Edinburgh factory producing the sixth weave of the Newport Tartan. She met the seamstress who hand-sewed the labels on the very first run and learned it’s rare for a tartan to receive even a second weave, let alone a sixth. “It shows the community support we have … and we’re just getting our groove,” Coen enthused before thanking the crew at The Surf Club, the Kilroy family, the Bonrock Foundation, volunteer Nancy O’Sullivan, and Frankie Silvia. At the mention of Silvia’s name, someone in the crowd shouted, “I love that guy!” Coen invited event attendees to march with The Newport Tartan (TNT) in the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day Parade ahead of the Thompson Middle School Marching Band, which TNT is sponsoring. Those already committed elsewhere can look ahead to the April 11th NYC Tartan Day Parade in Manhattan, featuring grand marshal and Outlander hottie Sam Heughan. “Walking up Sixth Avenue is really a thrill,” Coen said, noting that The Newport Tartan has been the only group representing Rhode Island and New England in recent years at a parade attracting 3,000 marchers donning tartans from around the world. #buzzingaroundnewport #newportri #newportbuzz
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
