Newport and Middletown dining

·

Newport dining on Thames St gets extremely crowded July-August -- reservations are essential on weekends.

·

Gary's Handy Lunch in Middletown is the no-fuss local alternative to Newport's tourist scene.

·

Scales & Shells is the best wood-fired seafood in Newport -- arrive early, they don't take reservations.

·

The Black Pearl on Bannister's Wharf has a casual window and a formal dining room -- the window is fine.
