Bachelorette Party in Newport and Boston

bitofrits

I'm not from the area... my friend wants stay in Boston Saturday night to go to a restaurant and then maybe a lounge (so people who want to dance can, but others who aren't into that don't have to).  

Then to a day trip to Newport since we heard it's off-season right now.  If you have suggestions for antique shops, good lunch diners/restaurants, and maybe even a lounge there... (I'm semi-hoping to convince her to go overnight there if any place is open because I know that's what she REALLY wants to do).  I know Newport's in RI, but I guess it's only 1 1/2 hours from Boston so I'm hoping some of you may have gone there before.  I also posted in the RI board.  

Thanks in advance!!

The Brick Alley Pub in Newport is very good.  I've heard the Red Parrot is also good.  You could visit Newport Vineyards -- they have tastings everyday.  Their wine is pretty good, too.  And of course, you must do some mansion tours.

Newport is beautiful (I too suggest the vineyards!), but it is a long ride after a night of dancing.  Have you thought of staying in Providence instead?  They have great restauraunts and a booming night life.  Just a thought rather than doing all that traveling!! Good Luck!

I LOVE the Brick Alley Pub! Get the ultimate nachos!!  If you decide to stay over, I recommend staying up at Ocean Cliff--gorgeous view.

Are you planning for this weekend? If so, Newport is having restaurant week and a lot of hotels/restaurants offer great specials, so it would be a nice time to go! And I have heard great reviews about the Brick Alley Pub as well.
