Many of us woke up to the heartbreaking news that Many of us woke up to the heartbreaking news that Matunuck Oyster Bar was damaged in a fire last night. I’m incredibly saddened to hear of this tragedy.

In true Rhode Island spirit, I know our community will rally together to support the Matunuck team through this difficult time.

Here’s to a speedy rebuilding and the return of a place that means so much to all of us.

Shuck yeah! Today was packed with oysters, chowder Shuck yeah! Today was packed with oysters, chowder, and all kinds of amazing seafood at the Newport Oyster & Chowder Festival at @bowenswharf in Newport, RI.

There’s nothing better than having all my favorite oysters in one place—and I even got to try some new varieties too. If you’re a seafood lover, this is the place to be!

There’s still plenty of time to head down today, and the festival continues all day tomorrow. Don’t miss it!

Here’s a list of all the vendors I tried:

@aquidneckislandoysters 
@ninigret_nectars

We love showing our hometown some love, so we chec We love showing our hometown some love, so we checked out @beechrestaurant in Jamestown last night.

It’s got a fun tree themed vibe—even though the patio isn’t open just yet, we still enjoyed our dinner inside.

Can’t wait to hang out at the Tree Bar once summer finally is here!

Have you been to @simplemerchantcoffee yet? It’s Have you been to @simplemerchantcoffee yet? It’s right on Broadway located on the ground floor at @innovatenewport 

I’m not a coffee drinker (tea) but my hubby said his coffee was delicious. 

They also have bagels, breakfast sandwiches and burritos. It’s a true not so hidden gem!

Also, when is this rain going to end? 

Have you heard of Simple Merchant Coffee?

We accidentally found the coolest little fish mark We accidentally found the coolest little fish market in Narragansett. @brightside_seafood The owner personally went over all the fresh fish he had in stock and gave us an excellent recommendation. I also grabbed my first steamers of the season! 

Not to mention he carries our favorite bluefish dip! 

You’ve got to go check this place out.

I can’t believe I’ve never been to @plantcityp I can’t believe I’ve never been to @plantcitypvd I can’t believe I’ve never been to @plantcitypvd but it’s true. @pattyjdotcom made the suggestion—I think I’m hooked now.

We had their new truffle mushroom & kale pizza and decided it’s a winner. 

The fact we’ve made it to patio season and there was sunshine today made it all the more special.

I literally dream about the meat lovers pancakes f I literally dream about the meat lovers pancakes from @blueplatedinerri —they’re my favorite. 

Super fluffy & tasty, but the best part is the sausage and bacon are already cooked in the batter.

You’re going to want these in your belly —trust me!

Hi, I’m Jessica, and I’m back in Rhode Island! Hi, I’m Jessica, and I’m back in Rhode Island! I thought it was time to re-introduce myself.

I’m a native New Englander turned snowbird, splitting my time between Rhode Island and Florida.

Fun fact: I’ve lived in 13 states — mostly thanks to my former career as a radio personality. It’s given me a deep appreciation for regional food and culture, but New England seafood will always have my heart.

This page is truly a passion project. I don’t make money from it — most of the food and travel you see here is paid for by me. Occasionally, I’m invited to dine out, but I only share places I genuinely love. You won’t find negative reviews here — that’s not what this space is about.

I really enjoy exploring and sharing delicious bites with you.

If there’s a spot you think I should visit, I’d love to hear your suggestions!

Thanks for following along on my food & travel journey.

During our last stay in Newport (here currently) w During our last stay in Newport (here currently) we stayed at Newport Marriott, where we had our house is nearly done celebratory drink. Stephanie, who works at the @skiffbar made us something very special - we loved them.

If you watch till the end you can see the most recent updates of our house - which is still not ready. We are hoping for a mid-June move in.

When I think of having a yummy sundae – a pizza pl When I think of having a yummy sundae - a pizza place doesn’t come to mind at first. However, I discovered that @motherpizzeria has one that’ll blow your mind.

Of course I don’t remember the name of it because I was too busy scarfing it down but I’m sure they can let you know what it is. 

Tell them I sent you. 😜

Unfortunately, I didn’t get any pictures of food because I was too busy.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support such a worthwhile event - hope to see you at the gala on November 8th.

After a two-day road trip from New Smyrna Beach to Newport—with our two dogs, Riley & Stella—we’re finally here! We’ll be staying in an Airbnb until our dream home is ready, which will be about another month. 

So excited to be back and looking forward to truly being home again.
