The Newport Restaurant Group announced Monday that The Newport Restaurant Group announced Monday that Foodlove Market, its chef-driven café and marketplace in Middletown, will permanently close its doors on January 25. The popular spot, known for its catering services, grab-and-go meals, pizzas, restaurant-style dishes, and curated groceries, was born out of the uncertainty of the pandemic. The group aimed to create a fresh concept to meet the changing dining habits during a time of upheaval in the hospitality industry. “Foodlove was a risk,” read a heartfelt letter to customers and the Aquidneck Island community. “We are proud to have created something locals loved and that felt truly different from our other concepts. But despite growing sales year over year, the concept has continued to realize unsustainable losses.” The group expressed gratitude to loyal customers and the dedicated staff, many of whom have been with Foodlove since its inception three years ago. The market will remain open until January 25, offering customers a final chance to enjoy its offerings. While Foodlove Market is closing, Newport Restaurant Group isn’t stepping away from the space. Later this year, a new restaurant concept will take its place. In the interim, Wooden Pin Baking Co., the group’s wedding cake business, will operate there by appointment only. “Please stay tuned for more information,” the letter concluded, as the group thanked loyal customers and the dedicated staff who helped bring the concept to life. #newportrestaurantgroup #foodlovemarket #newportbuzz #middletownri #newportri
According to recent court filings in Rhode Island According to recent court filings in Rhode Island federal court, after years of legal battles, a $2 million settlement has been reached with National Grid over the catastrophic gas outage that left thousands of residents on Aquidneck Island without heat or hot water during the brutal winter of 2019. Attorney Brian Cunha of Brian Cunha & Associates negotiated this significant win for the residents and businesses of Newport and Middletown. The outage, caused by dangerously low gas pressure, affected around 7,000 homes and businesses, some of which were rendered uninhabitable. 💰 The settlement will bring much-needed relief, including $1.1 million for low-income heating assistance to help those still struggling with energy costs. The funds will be distributed through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to support both residents and local businesses. “This settlement is about holding companies accountable and ensuring justice for those who suffered during this unprecedented event,” says Attorney Cunha. The agreement also underscores the need for stronger infrastructure to prevent future crises and ensure a more resilient energy system.

Newport residents just scored a rare win for their Newport residents just scored a rare win for their wallets. The Newport City Council approved a change to Easton’s Beach parking fees, eliminating costs for residents with a valid parking sticker while imposing steeper rates on non-residents. Starting this year, locals can park for free at Easton’s Beach year-round, a perk that previously required a $50 seasonal beach pass—or $35 for seniors. The decision, approved at the Jan. 8 council meeting following recommendations from the Beach Commission and the Recreation Department, shifts the financial burden to out-of-towners. Non-residents will now pay $25 to park on weekdays, up from $15, and $35 on weekends and holidays, up from $25. Non-resident seasonal passes will also see a hike, rising from $100 to $150. But the increases don’t stop with cars. Motorcyclists and bus drivers face their own spikes, with motorcycles seeing the sharpest jumps. Daily weekday rates for motorcycles soar from $5 to $25, while weekend rates jump from $10 to $30. Buses now pay $50 to park on weekdays, up $10, and $100 on weekends, a $20 hike. The new fee structure is designed to support beach maintenance and operations while providing Newport residents with additional benefits. #eastonsbeach #newportri #newportbuzz #scenesofnewengland

🚨 The New England Patriots are turning to a fam 🚨 The New England Patriots are turning to a familiar face to lead the franchise back to glory! 🏈🔥 Mike Vrabel, the former Patriots linebacker and three-time Super Bowl champion, has officially been named the team’s next head coach. The @patriots announced the news on Sunday, and Patriots Nation couldn’t be more excited! Vrabel’s connection to New England runs deep. He spent 8 unforgettable seasons under Bill Belichick, earned a spot in the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2023, and helped define the dynasty era. Now, he’s back in Foxborough—but this time, he’ll be running the show on the sidelines. Vrabel brings serious coaching chops with him: as head coach of the Tennessee Titans, he racked up a 54-45 record, 3 playoff appearances, and earned the 2021 NFL Coach of the Year Award. His return comes at a critical time for the Pats, who are coming off a turbulent season but have promising young QB Drake Maye, the No. 3 pick in the 2024 draft. Patriots Nation, it’s time to rally. The march toward a new era begins NOW! Are you ready for the Vrabel era? LET’S GO‼️ #PatriotsNation #MikeVrabel #NFL #PatsAreBack #Patriots #newengland #newportbuzz
