If you’re thinking about how to make Valentine’s Day special, I’ve got you. First, Gifts. @newportsweetshoppe on William Street’s house made chocolates, cookies and other sweets are both beautiful and heartbreakingly delicious, perfect for sweet-toothed Valentines of all ages. For men’s high-end clothing and furnishings, across the street up on Bellevue Ave is @manoverboardnpt . Further up is @radiantesthetics401 , a gorgeous beauty haven where you can grab a gift certificate for a luxurious facial or massage for your sweetie. The casually chic @youngdesignsnewport is your spot for floral designs, home décor, jewelry, and more. Women looking to spoil themselves or seekers of sexy, comfy-cozy gifts for them should try the elegant @deborahwinthroplingerie in Portsmouth for a selection of high-end bras, lingerie, sleepwear, and more, and a friendly, never pushy staff. And they gift wrap! Going out to celebrate is going to be tight unless you’re flexible about the pace of your evening. @bar12newport doesn’t take reservations, but the sleek little spot is made for a date night, with interesting cocktails and a short but sweet menu of small plates. At the @clarkecookehouse , there’s always plenty of room at the bars if you’re patient, persistent and without a reservation. Slide into vacated seats in the bistro bar, a fire blazing just behind it, or the Candy Store bar with its harbor view, and settle in for a view of the action. The @gardinerhousenpt is the new and fabulous kid on the block. Table reservations at @floranewport are nearly gone, but the bar is for walk-ins, and the Studio Bar on the main floor is a gorgeous jewel box of a lounge crowned by a roaring fireplace. Whether @pastavinori in Middletown is technically “romantic” depends on your POV. Fans of the Rat Pack and pasta classics done right might find it as romantic as it gets, and as of today, reservations for Valentine’s Day are still available. Don’t sleep on them. A suggestion for home cooks: @bottegabocconi for hors d’oeuvres, @goldswine_spirits for bubbles, and lobsters on Long Wharf at @newportlobstershack. Sexy.

Walking into @bottegabocconi feels like a scene fr Walking into @bottegabocconi feels like a scene from a foodie’s most decadent daydream. The shelves are a love letter to Italy—rows of ruby-red tomato sauces that could outshine any Tuscan nonna’s, golden olive oils that shimmer in the light, baskets of fresh-baked bread so fragrant you’re tempted to tear into them right there. Open the fridge, and you’ll find it stocked with prepared meals, just waiting for you to take home and reheat. Perfect for those nights when you want the flavors of Italy without the time commitment. And then there’s the deli counter: plump, house-made meatballs sit like crowned jewels, ribbons of prosciutto are sliced so thin they’re almost translucent, ravioli and Long, flowing strands of pasta so fresh you can practically hear the pasta cutter echoing from the kitchen. And the made-to-order piadine sandwiches? Don’t even get me started—they’re what every sandwich wishes it could be when it grows up. But it’s not just food, it’s a vibe. A curated slice of Italy that feels like it belongs in the back streets of Milan but is blissfully right here in Middletown and Portsmouth. The Highlights: 🍝 Fresh house-made pastas that turn dinner into an event. 🧀  Italian deli meats & cheeses, imported from Italy, & sliced to order.  🛒A pantry full of staples straight from Italy to make your home kitchen feel like a trattoria. 🍴 Read-to-go meals that taste like you spent hours cooking—but you didn’t. Pro Tip: There are two locations—Middletown and Portsmouth—so you’re never too far from your next bite of happiness. 📍 Middletown Mon–Thurs: 10am–6pm Fri: 10am–7pm Sat: 9am–7pm 📍 Portsmouth Mon–Sat: 10am–6pm Do yourself a favor and check it out. Don’t blame us when you leave with half the store and a big ol’ food coma. 🍷🍴🇮🇹 #bottegabocconi #newportbuzz #middletownri #newportri #italianmarket #
On Today’s Newport Time Warp Feature! ⏳✨ S On Today’s Newport Time Warp Feature! ⏳✨ Step onto Spring Street, where history lives and breathes. In this morphing photo, the present-day scene seamlessly transforms into the same view from the 1920s. Narrow streets like this are quintessential Newport, laid out centuries before automobiles roamed these cobblestone paths. Even back then, Spring Street was bustling, with cars sharing the road alongside a trolley line that ran down the right side. Remarkably, most buildings in this view have stood the test of time, preserving the charm and character of Newport’s historic downtown. On the far left, the Odlin-Otis House, built around 1705, anchors the scene as the oldest building here, with centuries of stories to tell. Just past it is the Franklin Bakery, a striking brick structure from 1876 that still stands tall today. Further down the left side, you’ll find a series of historic homes, like the George C. Barker House from the 1870s, now a handsome, deep dark blue, and the Elisha Johnson House, built in 1750, showcasing a classic gambrel roof. Interestingly, a now-missing gable-roofed house in the first photo was replaced in 1969 with the Edward Willis House, originally built in 1807. On the right side, though less visible from this angle, you’ll find equally stunning 18th- and 19th-century buildings, all part of the Newport Historic District, a National Historic Landmark since 1968. How lucky we are to walk its shadow, trace its heartbeat, and encounter a past that refuses to fade.
