Living Year Round In Newport

by Anonymous

Question:

What's your take on living in Newport year-round for a 22 year old female grad school student?

Is there much of a social life and ways to meet people?

How about activities for young adults out of college?

What do you think?


My response:

Thank you for the great question!

Although Newport is known as a summer tourist destination/party town, there is plenty going on here throughout the year.

Yes, the bar/nightclub scene thrives year-round, but you can also immerse yourself in the rich culture of Newport (and meet some cool people) while you're checking out our:

• Historic attractions and architecture
  
• Award-winning restaurants
  
• Arts and Entertainment scene
  
• Coffee shops
  
• Fitness centers
  
• Live music
  
• Countless year-round events (music festivals, food festivals, wine tastings, etc.)
  

There are also plenty of great spots for those in their 20's and 30's to mingle, especially on Broadway. If you haven't already, check out Salvation Cafe and Fifth Element, among others.

And for up to date info on what's going on around town, be sure to check out my friends' awesome websites:

Melody Mulcahey's www.NewportRIRocks.com

and

Christian Winthrop's www.TheNewportBuzz.com

These 2 always know what's going on around town and update their websites/Facebook pages frequently.

Thanks again for the question, and be sure to update us on your experience!
