Is there anything better than autumn in Rhode Island? The warm, sunny days are followed by perfectly crisp nights. The scenery is bursting with color and vibrancy, whether you’re by the sea, in the woods or in the city. And while the lazy days of summer were great, there’s nothing too terrible about having so many fun autumn events to choose from, whether it’s a farm festival in September to celebrate the harvest, a ghost tour to get in October’s spooky spirit, or a November foodie’s jaunt to a vineyard to get inspired for holiday cooking. There’s a lot to love about the fall – but you don’t need convincing. Read our inaugural Hey Rhody Fall Guide, and then enjoy every minute of the season.

Fine Clothiers

The Finest in

Men’s Style W

hile a guy’s clothes may not “make the man” it does provide his first impression to the world. Marc Allen Fine Clothiers is a specialty store for men, offering items that you simply can’t find anywhere else. You’re in good hands here, with expert craftsmen who can provide exquisite bespoke tailoring along with fabrics from high-end manufacturers, like Barberis and Loro Piana. You’ll discover distinguished colorful ties and their new inhouse made-to-measure line, Barking Dog. The ready-to-wear area downstairs has been revamped to highlight their entire fall lineup of clothing. And the newest addition to the store is a private viewing space upstairs – Marc Allen 2 ND Floor – which is for clients who desire an extensive consultation for building out a new wardrobe without interruption. Business owner Marc Streisand explains, “I created this area for the aspect of privacy. We have club chairs, a big screen TV and there

will be beautiful fabrics all over the place. Plus there will be a full bar with the finest spirits and wines.” Marc is planning on installing a barber chair as well, so as you are waiting for a consultation you can get a haircut. The process of the consultation involves showcasing different style and fabric choices, along with a storyboard presentation so clients can see what they can look like for particular purposes. Maybe you are traveling to Asia on business more often, and you need a certain style but want to maintain a good comfort level in the weather for that region. The team at Marc Allen will find exactly what you need. This fall there are some really exciting fabrics coming in. Vitale Barberis continues to improve their technology, where their Super 130s are now Super 140s and 150s without interrupting the integrity of the cloth. This gives their yarns a much more luxurious quality due to an increase in the micron count. They offer fabrics with mixtures like – Sponsored Content –

cashmere and silk, so you really are wearing the best-of-the-best. Brand new lines are coming in that are so big that Marc admits you just have to walk in and see them for yourself. An example of a specialty item? “I brought in this awesome velvet smoking jacket, that can be worn with jeans,” Marc explains. Marc Allen also does premium in-home concierge service for men looking to update their entire wardrobe. “We can take a guy of any body type and make him look vibrant and stylish,” Marc says. “To me, that’s the crux of what we do here.” Stop into Marc Allen and let them guide you toward a new look that will make you excited to go out into the world.

Scenic Drives Take in the beauty of fall by automobile A Block IslAnd drIve Take in Block Island’s magnificent natural beauty any time of year with a serene drive up Corn Neck Road. Offering ocean views on one side and Harbor Pond and the Great Salt Pond on the other, Corn Neck Road starts in town and goes all the way to the northernmost tip of the island. Stop along the way to walk around and check out the Block Island National Wildlife Refuge, Sachem Pond and Middle Pond. Bird watchers rejoice; Block Island is home to over 70 species of migratory songbirds that are easy to catch a glimpse of all over the island. Get lost in your thoughts in the Sacred Labyrinth or look out over the hills at Whitman Park. Leave your car at the lot at Grove’s Point and wander out to the tip of the island to see North Lighthouse. In town, grab a bite at Winfield’s or Poor People’s Pub before or after your day of exploring. Visit the scenic 1661 Inn as well, with breathtaking views from the porch and home to Justin’s Farm, a menagerie and petting zoo that’s open year round, showing exotic animals ranging from llamas and goats to emus and kangaroos. Stroll around town a bit before catching the ferry home to squeeze in as much island time as you can. Block Island has so many beautiful spots and places, but try to hit as many as you can in a day with a drive up Corn Neck Road.

Drive out to Block Island’s North

cumBerlAnd’s dIAmond In the rough Witness the colorful leaves over the picturesque Diamond Hill Reservoir this fall. Drive along Diamond Hill Road or Route 114 to get the most out of this wonderful stretch of Cumberland. Turn off onto Reservoir Road to take a swing around both Diamond Hill Reservoir and neighboring Arnold Mills Reservoir and to cross over the dam. Wander through or stop for a picnic at Diamond Hill Park. Thrill-seekers have even more to look forward to with a trip to the park – it’s also home to Haunted Hill, the scariest-rated trail in southern New England. It runs on weekends throughout the fall, offering both family friendly events and totally scary stuff for the grownups. The park also offers camps, evening yoga classes and a variety of other fitness courses. There are also of plenty of pleasant stops for food and shopping along 114. Phantom Farm has 14 acres

of beautiful farmland and offers apple picking through October. Pop into Diamond Hill Vineyards for an afternoon wine tasting or just to look over their gorgeous property. You can also find a charming addition to your home at the quaint Diamond Hill Country Store. Grab a cone at the Ice Cream Machine Co., which lies on the edge of Diamond Hill Park. Whatever your fancy, there’s plenty to do and see in this enchanting area.

chAsIng down smIthfIeld’s ghosts A drive down 116 in Smithfield offers something truly special – Rhode Island’s famous ghost town, Hanton City. Also called the Lost City, this colonial era settlement is located just off 116 and has spooky abandoned and overgrown stone foundations, a burial site, dam and stonewalls. There are many theories surrounding what happened to the residents of this settlement but no one knows for sure; you’ll have to investigate it for yourself. Visit the North Central Conservation Area in the Lincoln part of 116 for some lovely walking or hiking. Relax for a bit at the George Washington Picnic Grove, where you’re welcome to bring along some beer or wine to your picnic. Turn off 116 and onto 104 to drive along the Stillwater Reservoir. For more scenic views, drive down a little further southeast

Stop by Worden Pond, which borders Great Swamp Wildlife Reservation in South County

to Georgiaville Pond. Grab a bite to eat at Blackie’s Bull Dog Tavern or, for views of the reservoir while you eat, The Last Resort Pub and Grill. The Last Resort also has an outdoor pool and tiki hut and offers live music for a fun and funky experience. You can also make a visit to Bryant University’s campus, which is just beyond the George Washington Picnic Grove. Tour the campus or go for a game at Bulldog Stadium.

Fun on the Farm

Seasonal happenings are growing all over the state Sure, picking your own

fruits and vegetables can be fun, but after a little while, it also feels like work. Kick back and have a little fun at these farms your back (and your kids) will thank you. Take a step back in time at Festival Farm in Hope Valley, which promises family fun “like it used to be.” Kids can take a pony ride or a hay ride pulled by an antique tractor. After, the petting zoo lets you get up close and personal with alpacas, sheep, pygmy goats, an emu and pheasants. The Yankee Pantry offers jams and jellies, as well as baking mixes and fall décor items. Sip a hot cider while you pick out your fall pumpkins and gourds. 2 Canonchet Road, Hope Valley. 742-5575, www.festivalfarmri.com The Farmer’s Daughter in Kingston is a farm stand and garden center, but that’s not exactly going to get the kids excited. Try their Harvest Festival, which happens every weekend from September 27-October 26, and offers tons of fun activities: scavenger hunts, pony rides, pumpkin slingshots and bowling, a corn maze, a barrel train ride and antique tractors, scarecrow making, costume contests and furry friends. Who says life on the farm is hard work? It sounds like all fun and games. 716 Mooresfield Road, South Kingstown. 7921340, www.thefarmersdaughterri.com John and Cindy’s Harvest Acres is a full scale nursery that sells a lot more than just plants. In the fall, harvest vegetables are available, like pumpkins (painted as well as plain, depending on whether you’re eating them or decorating with them), gourds and winter squash varietals. In addition, John and Cindy’s has a shop filled with delicious edibles like maple syrup and honey. 425 Kingstown Road, West Kingston. 7898752, www.johnandcindys.wix.com/johnandcindys It must be something in the water… or maybe it’s the Great Pumpkin. Frerichs Farm in Warren is widely known for its enormous pumpkins. So widely known, in fact, that Frerichs’ giant gourds have made the national news. Every Columbus Day weekend, the farm hosts the Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Grower’s Annual Weigh-off, happening this year on October 11. The event attracts more than 3,500 attendees to witness the weighing of the gigantic pumpkins, which can weigh in at over 1,000 pounds. 43 Kinnicutt Avenue, Warren. 245-8245, www.frerichsfarm.com Since 1964, Pippin Orchard has not only produced crisp, fresh apples, but has also educated the Rhode

Island community on how our food is truly harvested and produced. For a special seasonal treat for the eyes, head over to Pippin on September 20 and 21 as well as October 11, 12 and 13 (Columbus Day weekend) to see Michael Higgins, chainsaw carver, create unbelievably intricate wood sculptures with – you guessed it – his chainsaw. Pick-your-own apples is a true rite of fall for the whole family, and it starts in September. This year, it is accompanied by another sweet seasonal staple: Poppy’s Kettle Corn will be at Pippin every weekend during pick-your-own. 751 Pippin Orchard Rd, Cranston. 943-7096 By day, Wakefield’s Highland Farm is a pleasant, unassuming place. The nursery and farmstand sells fall plants and vegetables, as well as garden décor and landscaping products. Highland’s bakery serves up a huge selection of sugar-free (agave sweetened) pies, as well as muffins, pastries and tea breads. It’s a lovely place to be… while the sun is out. At night, well, you’re going to have to run for your life. The Halloween season marks the reopening of Trails to Terror. What they do with all of the zombies and voodoo priests the rest of the year, well, you probably don’t want to think about that. 4235 Tower Hill Rd, Wakefield. 792-8188, www.highlandfarmri.com Once you get to Manfredi Farms in Dunns Corner in Westerly, you might not want to leave. The expansive gardens are gorgeous, the farm stand is lush with seasonal bounty, the baked goods are fresh from the oven. There are animals to pet, to maybe slip a veggie to (after you’ve picked your own green vegetables, cut flowers and pumpkins). But what’s going to keep you there? Farmer’s golf. That’s right. A modified tenhole golf game, played with wooden clubs and larger balls, on farmland itself – meaning that all of the obstacles and hazards, like tall grass, plants, maybe a cow or two – are part of the game. 77 Dunns Corner Road, Westerly. 322-0027

A-MAzE-ING Once all of the corn is harvested, what else is there to do but have some fun with what’s left? Lots of local farms make corn mazes in the fall. Here’s a sampling: Adams Farm 495 Sumner Brown Road, Cumberland. 333-1727, www.adamsfarmri.com Clark Farms 2984 Comd.

Sharpening Skills Forget everything you remember about learning math. The Mathnasium Method is different from all other math instruction. It helps children build deep mathematical understanding through a combination of mental, visual, verbal, tactile and written exercises. At Mathnasium, they teach children conceptually rather than through standard repetition, resulting in the development of Number Sense – a critical foundation for understanding math. They assess each child’s math understanding, create a customized learning plan and provide one-on-one attention from highly qualified instructors. Whether your child needs to catch up, keep up or get ahead, Mathnasium is the place to go. 2253 Pawtucket Avenue, East Providence & 45 Sockanosset Cross Road, Cranston. 431-6284, www.mathnasium.com.

Outdoor Activities

Fall Hiking and Biking

Take in the season’s beauty from the ground up Sure, you can leaf peep from inside a car, or sip hot cider at a farm. But to really experience the beauty of nature in autumn, you need to get out into it. Take some time for a weekend excursion, whether it’s a scenic walk, a hike or a bike ride. Since 1987, the Westerly Land Trust has been a private conservation organization devoted to preserving Westerly’s gorgeous green spaces. The Trust has several different preserves, all with walking/hiking trails. From the easy 0.6 mile paved walking loop at Avondale to the more rugged trails through Grills and Riverwood Preserves, there’s something for every level of activity, and the views are some of the best around. Download trail maps from their website, and details on scavenger hunts for kids. The Land Trust also offers guided kayak/canoe paddles every Thursday. They leave at 9:30am and last between 90 minutes and three hours, depending on which trail your guide chooses. www.westerlylandtrust.com In Jamestown, Beavertail State Park is some of the most scenic, unspoiled land in the state. It’s so pristine, in fact, that filmmaker Wes Anderson chose Beavertail to film several scenes from Moonrise Kingdom there. The park is home to rocky coastlines perfect for saltwater fishing, as well as miles of hiking trails. Beavertail’s naturalist program includes an environmental interpretive program, as well as marine biology tidal excursions, aquarium activities and geology. Beavertail Road, Jamestown. 423-9941, www.riparks.org Just off the Blackstone River Bikeway in Lincoln, Blackstone Valley Outfitters is an outdoor store specializing in boating, fishing and hiking gear. But, the store’s real mission is to foster a love of the outdoors. For daytrippers, BVO offers bike rentals and information about attractions along the bike path. For sailors at heart, boat rentals are available, as well as guided kayak tours and beginner level kayak and canoe instruction courses. For aspiring campers, BVO has hiking classes and more intensive backpacking instruction in three sessions: planning your trip, a day hike with a full pack and a weekend overnight. For group adventures, BVO owners Mark and Don lead guided kayak and hiking tours, to places like

Mount Monadnock, the Wood River, the North South Trail and Mount Wachusett. 25 Carrington Street, Lincoln. 312-0369, www.bvori.com For a picnic excursion in a beautiful natural setting, visit Charlestown’s Burlingame State Park. The 3,100 acres offers 50 fireplace sites, as well as a swimming beach and a boat launch. The park is next to the Audubon Society’s Kimball Wildlife Sanctuary, and trails lead from Burlingame into the 29 acres of pristine natural habitat that surrounds Watchaug Pond. www.asri.org, www.riparks.org In Middletown, the Norman Bird Sanctuary offers 375 acres of natural habitat to observe our flying friends. Seven miles of hiking trails wind through the property, which also houses a Barn Museum of Rhode Island’s natural history, with wildlife and natural habitats. The sanctuary is open every day from 9am-5pm, and requires a small fee that goes towards preserving the property. For casual birders – you know, those of you who can’t tell a yellow warbler from a red-tailed hawk – there are free guided birding tours every other Sunday morning at 10am. The sanctuary also hosts frequent special events, like wildflower hikes, birding excursions and beach cleanups. 583 3rd Beach Road, Middletown. 846-2577, www. normanbirdsanctuary.org Spanning across Richmond, Exeter, Hopkinton and West Greenwich, Arcadia Management Area offers up 14,000 acres of adventure. Fish on Breakheart Pond, or hunt in designated wooded areas. Miles of hiking and biking trails are marked, and there is horseback riding at the park, also. Kids under 14 can

fish in Frosty Hollow Pond, which is stocked with trout. The Wood River, also stocked with trout, is widely known as one of the best freshwater fishing experiences in the state. www.riparks.com While almost 12 miles of the Blackstone River Bikeway are open to riders, the currently under construction project will total nearly 50 miles, dotted with visitors centers and amenities. For now, tour paths in Central Falls, Lincoln, Woonsocket and Cumberland. Learn more – or make a donation – at www.blackstonevalleycorridor.org. Take a Leisurely Bike Tour with Cycle Blackstone. These tours take riders of all ages on scenic bike rides. September 13 and 27, take a tour of Pawtucket. Those begin at the Blackstone Valley Visitor Center in Pawtucket, and winds past historic sites in the city like Slater Mill, the Kelly House Museum and the oldest brick mill in America before ending in Lincoln. The October 11 tour starts in Lincoln at the Blackstone River State Park Welcome Center and winds in a loop by the Blackstone Canal and Blackstone River, up to Fall Guide 2014 |

Woonsocket, to the Museum of Work and Culture, and back to Lincoln. www. cycleblackstone.com When four concerned citizens wanted to stop the sale of one of Tiverton’s last remaining large farm spaces to a developer, they banded together to form the Tiverton Land Trust. With the help of Pete Seeger, they raised the money to purchase what has become the Pardon Gray Preserve, which is 230 acres of land containing colonial artifacts and the Gray family cemetery. The preserve abuts Weetamoo Woods, which has a 6.2 mile walking trail. The Land Trust now owns several other properties, all with scenic walks. Download trail maps and walking guides at www. tivertonlandtrust.org. For a scenic ride that’s both challenging and fun for the whole family, spend a sunny fall day on the East Bay Bike Path. The path starts in Providence at India Point Park, passes through East Providence, Barrington, Warren and Bristol, and ends at Riverside Square. Along the way, there are gorgeous water views of Narragansett Bay, and plenty of places to drop your kickstand and take a rest – like the Crescent Park Carousel in East Providence, lunch at Blount Clam Shack in Warren, or some

birdwatching at the Audubon Center in Bristol. www.riparks.com To get on your bike and do something good for someone else at the same time, join the Woony River Ride on September 20. The fundraiser for the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council brought nearly 300 people together last year to raise $21,000 to preserve green space and waterways in Providence. Choose one of five trails – ranging from 5 to 62 miles – and celebrate your money-raising ride at a party in Providence’s Waterplace Park afterwards, that has live music, entertainment and prizes. www.wrwc. org/woonyride.php While many of us hold on to summer for as long as possible, some people can’t wait for winter to start. The people at Alpine Ski and Snowboard are among them. Starting in November, Alpine and New England Action Sports offer bus trips up north to skiing destinations like Killington, Sunday River, Stowe, Okemo and Loon Mountain. In addition to ski and snow gear, Alpine offers incentives, like free lift tickets with specific purchases, like snowboards and boots. 105 Chestnut Street, Warwick. 781-4444, www. riskishop.com

Maritime Activities

Enjoying the Water Because the ocean doesn’t go away in the cooler months Ok, yes, summer in

the Ocean State is amazing. But we don’t lose all of the great things about the ocean just because the school year starts up again. Here’s how to enjoy the water in the cooler weather. Block Island may be Rhode Island’s summer playground, but here’s a little secret: the island is just as beautiful and warm in September, but all the crowds are gone. To celebrate, the island throws a lot of fun events worth checking out. The Inshore Fishing Tournament happens September 12-14, the Taste of Block Island takes over the island on the weekend of September 26-28 (read more about it on page 62), and the Block Island Historical Society hosts an Arts and Crafts Fair on October 11. Block Island’s annual Christmas Shopping Stroll takes place from November 28-30, when most of the island’s merchants ring in the holiday season with great discounts and festive happenings. www. blockislandchamber.com While the Newport and Fall River high speed ferries are for the summer months only, it’s easy to get to the island all year long at Point Judith in Narragansett. There, the Block Island Ferry has two options: the passenger-only high speed ferry runs daily through Columbus Day, and will get you there in just over 30 minutes; the traditional ferry runs through December. Bring a car, though, if you’re riding the traditional ferry, which is about an hour trip. You might want to consider doing without the car and renting a bike or a moped: once you’re soaking in the beauty of Block Island, that extra half hour lost is going to feel like a big deal. www.blockislandferry.com If you’re one of those people who has lived in Rhode Island your whole life, but never crossed the border into Massachusetts to visit Martha’s Vineyard, well, we can’t blame you. The drive out to Woods Hole to catch the ferry isn’t terrible without tourist traffic, but it’s also not exactly a day trip. If only there were an easier option… like the Martha’s Vineyard Fast Ferry that leaves from North Kingstown. The 90-minute trip runs almost daily in September and October, through Columbus Day. Just like that, you’re officially out

of excuses why you haven’t made the trip yet. 1347 Roger Williams Way, North Kingstown. 295-4040, www.vineyardfastferry.com From the same port as the MV Fast Ferry, Rhode Island Bay Cruises offers a Lighthouse Cruise and Newport Harbor Tour. The cruise showcases ten iconic Rhode Island lighthouses and some of the state’s most beautiful properties, like Castle Hill and Hammersmith Farm in Newport, as well as upclose views of several of Narragansett Bay’s small islands like Rose, Goat and Prudence. Ships depart almost daily in September, and on select dates in October. 1347 Roger Williams Way, North Kingstown. 295-4040, www.rhodeislandbaycruises.com When the weather gets colder, the ecology of Narragansett Bay changes. On the scale of cuteness (and which other one really matters?), that means that the seals come out to play. Starting in November, Save the Bay offers seal watching tours that depart from Newport and Westerly. Tours run on weekends and during school vacation weeks. www.savebay.org If you’d prefer to be a little closer to the water, visit the Kayak Centre. This water sports outfitter in Wickford offers daily demos, and several popular kayak instruction programs. Every weekend, the centre offers Oceanplay classes, which are daylong excursions that teach different kayak skills. There are six different workshops – all of which offer lunch – including one for kids only. 9 Phillips Street, Wickford. 295-4400. www.kayakcentre.com If you’re a devotee of “the only good addition,”

as Seven B’s says, then charter your own fishing excursion. Seven B’s offers year round deep sea fishing charters from Galilee aboard their 80 foot Lydia. Depending on the season, you’ll be fishing for cod, fluke, tautog, scup, striped bass, squid or black sea bass. Bait is provided, and rod rentals are available.

If you’re lucky enough

to get a three-day weekend for Columbus Day, you have some options. You could catch up on yard work. You could spend the weekend leaf peeping in New Hampshire. Or, you could stay close to home and take advantage of one of the state’s most festive weekends. Party like the Italians do at the Federal Hill Columbus Day Festival, October 11-13. For three days, portions of Providence’s iconic Atwells Avenue shut down to car traffic for a party in the streets that involves music, rides and games for the kids, a marketplace, and, of course, food. Lots of food. The parade on Sunday, October 12 brings out the city’s finest entertainment and notable politicians. Over 75,000 people are expected to attend the festivities. www.federalhillprov.com While Providence gets the most credit for its Italian heritage – come on, even Sinatra used to hang out on the Hill – it’s not the only place in Rhode Island where those roots run deep. Westerly has some Italian cred

Hey Rhody! Lots of festivities happen on Columbus Day weekend, like the Newport Oktoberfest and Johnston’s Applefest. Check out our calendar on page 20 for a complete list.

in its own right, especially when it comes to food, like the city’s iconic soupy, a local twist on soppressatta that each family has its own secret recipe for. It makes sense, then, that when it comes to Columbus Day, the city does it up right. This year marks the 67th annual Columbus Day parade on Sunday, October 12. Expect more than a dozen marching bands, plus military details and roughly 2,000 other participants – and that’s just people in the parade itself. Prizes are awarded to the best floats, but if you’re there, you’ve already won. www.columbusdayparade.net Woonsocket’s Autumnfest is part Columbus Day party, part fall celebration and all fun. For three days, you can enjoy entertainment, delicious food, fireworks, arts and crafts and lots of family fun at the World War II Veteran’s Memorial State Park. The headlining band is a closely guarded secret that won’t be revealed until the day of the show. Monday’s parade – which will be Autumnfest’s 36th, thank you very much – promises a party in the streets to remember. www.autumnfest.org The Scituate Art Festival has been bringing fine art to northern Rhode Island for 48 years. Browse over 200 art and craft vendors, as well as exhibitors and antiques vendors. Make a day of it with live music, delicious food and a raffle.

In Germany, Oktoberfest is a big deal. A really big deal. Think two weeks of eating, drinking, merriment and general revelry. In Rhode Island, the celebration isn’t quite on that scale, but it’s definitely worth checking out one (or all) of our Oktoberfest celebrations. The state’s biggest Oktoberfest celebration is, by far, Newport International Oktoberfest. Head to the Newport Yachting Center on October 11 and 12 for a German festival unlike any other. Think tons of German and American food, live entertainment, a kids play area and an artisans marketplace. This year, there will be three biergartens, featuring a big selection of Oktoberfest and seasonal fall brews; bring your own stein and drink like the Germans do. Performances include Spitze!, a GermanAmerican dance troupe that performs modern and traditional numbers, and die Schlauberger, a traditional German band that encourages the audience to “expect the unexpected.” A word to attendees: Saturday tends to be the more crowded day, and has more of a party vibe. Sunday is a bit more relaxed, and is recommended for families with young kids who will be navigating the crowd with strollers, or for a more mature crowd. 4 Commercial Wharf, Newport. 846-1600, www. newportwaterfrontevents.com In South County, there are two opportunities to celebrate like the Bavarians do: at Mews Tavern, and the

Charlestown Rathskeller. At Mews Tavern (456 Main Street, Wakefield. 783-9370, www.mewstavern.com), the party lasts all fall. They offer 40 taps dedicated to unique Oktoberfest and pumpkin brews, and will have German food and entertainment in October. The Rathskeller (489A Old Coach Road, Charlestown. 792-1000, www. thecharlestownrathskeller.com), a hip restaurant dedicated to German culture, is celebrating on the weekend of October 4-5. On October 4, they will hold a 64 team cornhole tournament and have food, raffles and a lineup of four bands throughout the day. October 5, they will be doing a Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser as well as offering outdoor food, games and music. Pawtucket also has its own Germanic tradition, which is celebrated all year long at the German American Cultural Society. The GACS has monthly Bratfest dinners, German language lessons for kids, and regular Polka events. The downstairs Ratskeller is one of the city’s hidden gems: cheap, delicious German food and beer, plus frequent live music. Every third Friday of the month, they serve Trachtenabend, a traditional German dinner prepared by a guest chef. Their annual Oktoberfest is a huge party with German food and entertainment check their website to see what else they have planned this year. 78 Carter Avenue, Pawtucket. 726-9873, www.gacsri.org

Seasonal Getaways

Luxury Staycations Act like a tourist in the off-season In the summer, people flock to the Ocean State to spend their vacation time frolicking on our beaches and taking in our gorgeous scenery. As Rhode Islanders, we’re lucky to call this place home – but, because we’re Rhode Islanders, we don’t take advantage of the more touristy parts of the state the way we should be. For example, Newport, Block Island and Watch Hill are some of the best tourist destinations on the entire East Coast. Chances are you avoid them in the summer, or go maybe once or twice. Too much traffic, too many people, too long waits at iconic restaurants. But, there are too many good things to stay away entirely. That’s why September and October are the best months of the year around here: the weather is beautiful, and we Rhode Islanders have the whole place to ourselves.

NewpoRt

Between the historic landmarks like the Newport Mansions, the International Tennis Hall of Fame and the American Museum of Illustration; gorgeous scenery on Ocean Road and Bellevue Avenue; a thriving dining scene and tons of great places to get a cocktail, there’s a lot to do in Newport. Too much for one day. Better make a weekend of it.

ACCOMODATIONS Castle Hill tops out at over $1,000 a night for the private cottages and the best suites in the hotel; the same goes with the Chanler at Cliff Walk and the Vanderbilt Grace. But once Labor Day is over, those room rates drop, and drop even further after Columbus Day. To encourage day trippers to become staycationers, the hotels offer dinner and room packages at a huge savings over in-season rates. Castle Hill (590 Ocean Drive, Newport. 8493800, www.castlehillinn.com) has a rolling lawn dotted with Adirondack chairs perfect for enjoying a sunset cocktail, and one of the state’s best restaurants on the premises. The hotel offers two-night packages like the Set Sail, which includes a sailing lesson and shopping at Helly Hansen, and Best of Bellevue, including mansion tours and a facial at local spa legend Farmaesthetics. The Chanler at Cliff Walk (117 Memorial Boulevard,

Hey Rhody! Making a trip to Block Island? Whether it’s your first or your 50th, check out SO Block Island (www.sorhodeisland.com/soblockisland) for a visitor’s guide to the island, include information on accommodations, dining and entertainment.

The view from the rooftop deck at the Vanderbilt Grace

Newport. 847-1300, www.thechanler.com) home of the Spiced Pear restaurant, has one of the city’s prime locations: at the corner of First Beach and the Cliff Walk. Among their packages is Luxury as It Should Be, which includes one of the ultra-luxury rooms that has a private hot tub, sauna and deck overlooking the ocean, and a six-course chef’s dinner at the Spiced Pear, complete with rose petals on the table. The Vanderbilt Grace (41 Mary Street, Newport. 846-6200, www.gracehotels. com/vanderbilt) has a rooftop deck perfect for cocktails at sunset, and offers one of the best views of the City by the Sea and the harbor. Its main restaurant, Muse by Jonathan Cartwright, offers some of the finest dining in the state. The hotel is offering a Sundays with Grace package, which includes 50% off your Sunday night stay if you’re staying Friday and Saturday nights. The Hyatt Regency Goat Island (1 Goat Island, Newport. 851-1234, www.hyatt.com/newport) offers, hands-down, the best views of ships heading in and out of Newport Harbor. The hotel is home to Stillwater Spa and Windward Coastal Grille, and offers spa and stay packages, as well as bed and breakfast packages.

DINING Delicious mainstays like The Mooring (1 Sayers Wharf, Newport. 846-2260, www.mooringrestaurant.com), which serves some of the best, freshest, most sustainably-minded seafood in New England, and steakhouse extraordinaire 22 Bowens Wharf (22 Bowens Wharf, Newport. 841-8884, www.22bowens.com) have historically been popular, large-scale dining destinations in Newport. In the last few years, though, Newport has fostered a crop of innovative, fresh-thinking young chefs who have created a whole new dining scene.

Tomato and Melon Salad from Talullah on Thames

Tallulah on Thames (464 Thames Street, Newport. 849-2433, www.tallulahonthames.com) has been getting so much local attention that they opened another outpost, Talullah’s Taqueria (146 Ives Street, Providence. 849-2433), in Providence. Chef Jake Rojas’ modern cuisine changes with each season. At Thames Street Kitchen (677 Thames Street, Newport. 846-9100, www. thamesstreetkitchen.com), the drinks may be BYOB, but the farm-to-fork cuisine is all pro. Chefs Chad Hoffer and Tyler Burnley met in New York, married twin sisters Julia and Anna Jenkins, and moved to the ladies’ hometown of Newport with their taste for fresh, urban cuisine. The Revolving Door Restaurant (509 Thames St, Newport. 846-0400, www.revolvingdoorri.com) Fall Guide 2014 |

Seasonal Getaways

Luxury Staycations is a new concept: guest chefs can visit Newport for a month, and create their own pop-up restaurant on a “working vacation.” While there are house specials that stay consistent, no meal at The Revolving Door, an extension of Bouchard’s Inn, is the same twice.

Block ISlaNd

You’ve heard the song a million times, but when was the last time you actually sailed away on the Block Island Ferry? The fast ferry operates through December: it’s a 30 minute ride, and it feels like a world away. A Taste of Block Island event is happening in September (read more on page 61). Most restaurants and shops stay open through mid-late October, but everything reopens for a holiday shopping weekend that starts on Black Friday. But once you get on the island, your schedule disappears. All you have to do is remember to get on the return boat… eventually.

ACCOMMODATIONS A reservation at the Spring House Hotel (52 Spring Street, New Shoreham. 466-5844, www.springhousehotel.com) is tough to get during the summer. The historic hotel is perched over the ocean, and the rolling lawn and wraparound porch offer incredible views. While the hotel and its restaurant host a lot of fall weddings, it’s much easier to get a reservation in the off season – and the hotel offers last minute deals on unfilled rooms. The 1661 Inn and Hotel Manisses (5 Spring Street, New Shoreham. 466-2421, www.blockislandresorts.com) are two closeby properties. The Manisses Restaurant is considered one of the most romantic spots on the island, and the hotels include a champagne brunch and wine and cheese in the afternoons. For a full online guide of where to stay, eat and play on the island, visit www.blockislandreservations.com.

ExplORING THE ISlAND The Nature Conservancy named Block Island one of the world’s “last great places,” and for good reason. The island’s stewards carefully protect its open spaces, ensuring that it remains an island paradise in the truest sense. To that end, there are nearly 30 miles of dedicated Greenway Trails (www.nature.org) for walking and birdwatching. Check out Rodman’s Hollow and Clay Head Trail for gorgeous views of the island and the ocean. While most of Block Island is easily walkable, head out to the North Light and New Harbor on a moped or a bike. As soon as you disembark from the ferry, there are several within a minute’s walk. Stop in at the Block Island Tourism office (www.blockislandinfo. com) at the ferry terminal for deals and discounts.

The majestic Ocean House in Watch Hill

watch hIll

Opulent Watch Hill in Westerly is a playground for the rich and famous – Taylor Swift paid cash for a multimillion dollar estate there, and she and her celeb friends like Lena Dunham, Lorde and Selena Gomez are spotted there every so often. In the off season, though, there is a bit more room for us regular folk.

ACCOMMODATIONS The Ocean House (1 Bluff Avenue, Westerly. 5847000, www.oceanhouseri.com) graced the cover of Condé Nest Traveler magazine this summer, and it’s easy to see why. The gorgeous hotel, built in 1868, has three restaurants, a spa, sculptured gardens and a private beach. The fine dining Seasons Restaurant is open year-round, and has a to-go dessert bar outfitted with house-made truffles, chocolates and macarons. The hotel offers spa getaway packages that include healthier spa cuisine options, a credit at the Oh! Spa, optional yoga and access to the indoor lap pool.

ATTRACTIONS Easily walkable Watch Hill is full of stylish, nauticalinspired shops (many of which offer end of season discounts into October). Stroll through, take a ride on the carousel – which has a claim on being the oldest in the country – and stop to have lunch or dinner. Olympia Tea Room (74 Bay Street, Westerly. 348-8211, www.olympiatearoom.com) is in its 98th season of serving modern, classic cuisine. If the weather is nice, walk out to Napatree point, one of the best beaches for birdwatching in the state.

Halloween

Fright Nights Halloween events that will have you sleeping with the lights on SPOOKY STUFF

What better way to get in the spooky spirit than to get up close and personal with some things that go bump in the night? Whether your ghosts of choice are real or imagined, we’ve got you covered. Trails to Terror is the closest thing you’re going to find to a Stephen King novel come to life… not that that’s exactly a good thing. Fifteen acres of screams take over Wakefield’s Highland Farm. Do you dare to be a passenger on Delamorte’s Haunted Hayride, or walk (maybe you should run) through the Forest of Fear?

As the scariest-rated trail in southern New England, they don’t play around. For over ten years, Haunted Hill has inspired terror with a wide range of characters, from killer scarecrows to movie murderers that probably kept you up at night as a kid. Think Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, Michael Myers and more than enough chainsaws. Meet them face-to-face in the middle of the woods on Fridays and weekends in October, including a Midnight Massacre on Halloween… if they don’t get you first. 4092 Diamond Hill Road, Cumberland. 334-9996, www. hauntedhill.net Decades of thrill-seekers have returned to the Haunted Labyrinth in Cranston, which is the longestrunning haunted house in New England. This is a Halloween classic not to be missed, but there are always new, hidden tricks only to be discovered within its labyrinthine walls. The outside might make you want to turn around, but the real fun (or fear) starts when you enter. Find your way through in your own small group if you wish and discover the year’s theme, which never disappoints. Feel good about the admission cost once your heart rate lowers – the Haunted Labyrinth supports the Rejoice in Hope Youth Center. 804 Dyer Avenue, Cranston. 943-8686, www.hauntedlabyrinth.com

Kid-FriendlY FUn

Halloween is the scariest time of the year – too scary for some little ones. Here are some kid-friendly suggestions to get spooked in good fun. Thousands of intricately carved jack o’lanterns will light the Roger Williams Park Zoo at the annual Jack O’Lantern Spectactular. From October 2-November 2, once the sun goes down, the pumpkins come out to play. This year’s theme is Pumpkins A-Z, with highlights from history and pop culture; annual favorites like the Laughing Tree and the Halloween scenes (featuring pumpkins that weigh in at over 1,000 pounds) will be back for another show. Last year set an all-time attendance high of 135,000 people for the season. Lines can be long on the weekends, but are practically nonexistent on weeknights or if rain is in the forecast. What’s better than spying exotic animals? When those animals give you candy. On October 25 and 26, the Roger Williams Park Zoo presents Spooky Zoo. This daytime event is included in regular admission, and is more fun than a barrel of monkeys: think trick or treating inside the Zoo, music and entertainment, a magician, games, animal encounters and pumpkin

There’s a Western Town ready to be explored and a witch’s broom waiting to be ridden. Charlie Brown is even waiting for the Great Pumpkin in his pumpkin patch. They even fire off the pumpkin trebuchet at the end of the season. 43 Kinnicutt Avenue, Warren. 245-8245, www.frerichsfarm.com It’s no coincidence that Rhode Island is the 13th state.

takes brave souls on lantern-lit walks through the city’s Mile of History on Benefit Street, once frequented by masters of horror Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. Tours happen nightly in September and October, but beware: the Ghost Tour warns guests that it’s not responsible for “any haunting, soul possession or poltergeist activity experienced before, during or after the tour.” Ghost Tours of Newport (841-8600, www. ghostsofnewport.com) takes guests on an Old Town Ghost Walk to track down the haunted past of the City by the Sea, filled with pirates and Revolutionary War legends. On Fridays in October, Slater Mill hosts Mills & Mysteries: A Ghostly Experience (725-8638, www.slatermill.org). This paranormal investigation delves into the history of one of New England’s most haunted places with acclaimed ghost hunters. Prepare for impending doom as a rickety wagon takes you deeper into the dark woods of Confreda Farms at Scary Acres, which runs from September 19 to October 26. Once the wagon wheels give their final creak, it’s up to you to escape the zombies and werewolves waiting in the corn maze. Think fast, because they’ve been on the prowl for months and are thirsty for blood. This isn’t just any hayride and corn maze, though – added elements like Quarantine and the Fun House of Fears make the experience doubly scary, and there are evil creatures at every turn. 2150 Scituate Avenue, Hope. 827-5000, www.scaryacresri.com

Sip, Swirl, Sniff Tipple your way through the season with locally brewed spirits While Rhode Island has

had its share of wineries for quite some time now, it’s breweries that are booming right now. Get a taste of the local beer craze straight from the source – and while you’re at it, visit some vineyards and distilleries along the way. Just remember to bring a designated driver.

BrewpuBs Rhode Island’s craft beer craze started at Trinity Brewhouse (186 Fountain Street, Providence. 453-2337, www.trinitybrewhouse.com), a Providence brew pub, which started with a handful of beers only available at the restaurant and is now sold in stores all over the state. Stop in for lunch or dinner, try any of their ten craft brews, like Rhode Island IPA or Larkin’s Irish Stout, named after brewmaster Sean Larkin, who also brews his own Revival Beer out of the location. Close by is Union Station Brewery (36 Exchange Terrace, Providence. 274-2739, www.johnharvards.com), housed in an old train station, which has nine delicious beers like the Cask Dry Hopped Black IPA on tap. The newest brewpub in the state is another Sean Larkin venture, Brutopia Brewery and Kitchen, where Larkin is brewmaster. Brutopia (505 Atwood Avenue, Cranston. 4648877, www.brutopiabrewery.com) combines beer and great barbecue, made the right way in a hickory pit smoker. In Middletown, Coddington Brewing Company (210 Coddington Highway, Middletown. 847-6690, www.coddbrew.com) has been making great beer since 1995, and offers any combination of 20 seasonal beers like Oktoberfest and Oatmeal Stout. While Rhode Island’s unofficial state beer, Narragansett (www.narragansettbeer.com) doesn’t have a local brewery, it is available at nearly every restaurant around these parts.

Breweries The Rhode Island beer industry is booming in Pawtucket, where three breweries have opened in the last few years. Foolproof Brewing (241 Grotto Avenue #1, Pawtucket. 721-5970, www.foolproofbrewing.com) makes easily drinkable beer like their Backyahd IPA, and specialized brews like La Ferme Urbaine Farmhouse Ale. Tastings are held Friday evenings. Bucket Brewery (545 Pawtucket Avenue, Pawtucket. 305-0597, www. bucketbrewery.com) went from a basement operation to opening a gorgeous new tasting room this year. Tastings of beers like the Thirteenth Original Maple Stout

Hey rhody! The Rhode Island Brew Bus takes you on brewery tours all around the state, without having to worry about driving. Tours happen on Friday evenings and include transportation, snacks, beer education and giveaways. www.therhodeislandbrewbus.com

and Rhode Scholar are offered on Thursday and Saturdays, and on the third Friday of the month, Bucket hosts Sound Check, a Friday night beer and concert series. When Bucket moved out of its first small brewing space, Brewery 401 took it over, and is currently cooking up its first batches of beer. In Woonsocket, Ravenous Brewing is a “nano brewery” serving up quality craft beers like Coffee Milk Stout and Blackstone Pale Ale. Tours and tastings happen on select Saturdays, and you can take home 32oz “howlers” if you like what you sip. 840 Cumberland Hill Road, Woonsocket. www.ravenousbrew.com Grey Sail Brewing, opened in 2011 by husband and wife duo Alan and Jennifer Brinton, is a labor of love. Housed in a 1920s building that was once the Westerly Macaroni Factory, Grey Sail offers year-round brews like Flying Jenny IPA and Flagship Cream Ale, and complements those with seasonal offerings like Autumn Winds, an Oktoberfest-style ale. The brewery is open Friday afternoon for tastings and growler refills, and offers tours on weekends. 63 Canal Street, Westerly. 3152533, www.greysailbrewing.com The local beer boom also includes another South County brewery – Proclamation Ale Company. The West Kingston suds factory opened late last year, with two releases: Tendril, which owner and brewmaster Dave Witham describes as a “one and a half times IPA,” and Zzzlumber, a “Dutch Imperial Stout,” which spent the summer aging in whiskey barrels before it made its debut for this season. The brewery is open most Saturdays for tours, tastings and growler sales. 141 Fairgrounds Road, West Kingston. 787-6450, www.proclamationaleco.com

LocaL spirits Sons of Liberty might be relatively new to the booze game, but the distillery is already making a big name for itself, winning gold medals this year at two prestigious international competitions for its Hop Flavored Whiskey. SOL’s flagship is Uprising Single Malt American Whiskey, made from 100% malted barley, aged in American and French oak barrels. Sons of Liberty also produces seasonal whiskeys (get a bottle of the fall release, Pumpkin Spice Whiskey, while you can) and Loyal 9 Vodka (try the Dark Chocolate Vanilla Bean Vodka now and thank us later). Tours and tastings are offered on Wednesdays and Saturdays. 1425 Kingstown Road, South Kingstown. 2844006, www.solspirits.com Newport Storm made a name for itself as a brewery. While the beers are delicious – if you don’t try their Oktoberfest, you’re crazy – it’s the rum that’s really worth buzzing over. Thomas Tew Single Barrel Rum, which is distilled in the same way Newport’s residents did during the 18th century, when the city was integral to the rum trade, at one point operating 22 distilleries. Tour the brewery and distillery to see the process, and get a taste for yourself. Newport Storm is open every afternoon except Tuesday, and offers guided and self-guided tours. Beer geeks should try Fridays@Six, a free beer appreciation evening open to the first 50 people who sign up on Newport Storm’s Facebook page starting at noon every Friday. 293 JT Connell Road, Newport. 8495232. www.newportstorm.com

Sip, Swirl, Sniff VineyarDs to tHe nortH Nickle Creek, tucked away in Foster, is worth a visit at harvest time or any time. The boutique, family-owned vineyard produces limited run wines (most are just a few hundred cases) in red, white and fruit varietals. The estate grown Foster White is worth a sip, and is the wine included in their Adopt A Vine program, where you can gift your favorite oenophile a vine on the property and get three years worth of wine with it. The tasting room is open Friday-Sunday through December. The first two tastings are complimentary, but if you’d like to try more (and you definitely will), there’s a fee. 12 King Road, Foster. 369-3694, www.nicklecreekvineyard.com Wind your way down the shady Diamond Hill Road until you see a tiny sign, and follow the path to Diamond Hill Vineyards, a hidden gem in Cumberland. The winery has been growing grapes since 1976, and produces an Estate Pinot Noir and an Estate Pinot Noir Rose that are worth a second taste. Diamond Hill also specializes in fruit wines like Spiced Apple and Blackberry. The tasting room is open Thursday through Sunday afternoons. 3145 Diamond Hill Road, Cumberland. 333-2751, www.favorlabel.com Mulberry Vineyards is all about quality over quantity. This past spring, the vineyard bottled its first release, the bright, crisp American Riesling. Mulberry has a red coming this fall, but is keeping the details quiet until its release. For now, visit the historic Andrew Brown Homestead that the winery calls home, and enjoy a glass or two. Open on weekends from 11am-4pm. 95 Pound Road, Chepachet. 217-9288, www.mulberryvineyards.com

VineyarDs to tHe soutH Langworthy Farm might be South County’s only vineyard, but it’s the only one they need. Housed in a historic farmhouse, Langworthy is part winery and part bed and breakfast – smart marketing on their part, if you ask us. From Labor Day through Christmas Eve, they offer weekend tours of the winery, and reservations are encouraged. September 20 and 21, Langworthy will be offering an artisan cheese tasting; an Olive Fest happens October 11-12; and a Harvest Soup Fest will warm your bones on November 8-9. We can’t get enough of the local pride that goes into the wines, with names like Misquamicut Merlot, Pawcatuck River Red, Shelter Harbor Chardonnay and Weekapaug White. 308 Shore Road, Westerly. 322-7791, www. langworthyfarm.com It’s a good thing Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyard is such a pleasant place to be: once you’ve made the drive out to Little Compton, you’re going to

want to stay a while. The expansive vines stretch for acres and acres, and are particularly beautiful at harvest time. Buy a bottle – maybe of the deliciously drinkable Rhode Island Red, if you’re feeling a little hometown pride – and take it out into the fields to sip and explore. Daily tours are offered on the hour from 12-3pm. Every day except Tuesday, the Café is serving lunch – think shareables like tapas and flatbreads, plus sandwiches, salads and, of course, cheese plates. Finish your meal with a sip of the sweet Sirius, a refreshing dessert wine, which is enjoyable to the most sugar-averse oenophiles (not that we know from personal experience or anything). 162 West Main Road, Little Compton. 635-8486, www.sakonnetwine.com Don’t let the name fool you: Newport Vineyards is actually in Middletown, but that doesn’t make it any less worthy of a visit. The expansive vineyard has a huge tasting room, befitting its large array of wines and other spirited beverages. In addition to an impressive selection of reds (try the Gemini Red, a peppery medium-bodied blend, or Rochambeau, a fruit-forward Bordeaux-style blend) and whites (we like the In the Buff unoaked Chardonnay), Newport also produces sparkling wines, dessert wines and Rhody Coyote hard cider. Winery tours are offered daily at 1pm and 3pm, and there’s even a wine bus to take you back and forth to downtown Newport. The ultimate designated driver? We’ll cheers to that. Don’t miss the Harvest Wine Run on September 21, which combines a four-mile run with

a wine tasting event, plus a barbecue dinner afterwards. 909 East Main Road, Middletown. 848-5161, www.newportvineyards.com On a sunny autumn afternoon, there’s no more pleasant place to be than Greenvale Vineyards in Portsmouth. The 24-acre winery is perched on a hill overlooking the Sakonnet River, and the tasting room is housed in a historic barn. On Saturday afternoons, plan to sit and enjoy a bottle of their estate grown wine (when the weather is warm, try the crisp and refreshing Vidal Blanc) while listening to live music. Jazz at Greenvale happens every Saturday afternoon through December, and the whole family – including your four-legged members – are welcome. Greenvale also offers daily tours and tastings at the family-owned vineyard, sometimes even by the owner herself. 582 Wapping Road, Portsmouth. 847-3777. www.greenvale.com

You don’t always need a water view for a memorable night. DePasquale Square on Federal Hill is one of the state’s most picturesque places to have dinner. Venda Ravioli and Costantino’s Venda Bar and Ristorante are Providence institutions, serving up delicious Italian classics with a modern food philosophy. While during the summer the outdoor tables can have quite the wait, especially on nights when live music is playing in the square, the same tables are much easier to get in the fall. Thank the tourists for going home as you’re sitting by the Italianate fountain, sipping an afterdinner espresso martini. Venda Ravioli: 265 Atwells Avenue, Providence. 421-9105, www.vendaravioli.com. Venda Bar: 265 Atwells Avenue, Providence. 528-1100, www.costantinosristorante.com Aspire Seasonal Kitchen, in the Hotel Providence on Westminster Street downtown, knows how to keep things entertaining.

vegetables from the restaurant’s own farm. The oysters, straight from the restaurant’s oyster flats in Salt Pond, don’t get any fresher. Once the tourist crowd heads back to, well, wherever they came from, there’s a lot more room for us locals, both inside and out on the waterfront patio. 629 Succotash Road, South Kingstown. 783-4202, www.rhodyoyster.com Wickford Village is a serene and picturesque place… unless it’s dinnertime, and you’re waiting for a waterfront table at Tavern By the Sea. This MediterraneanAmerican restaurant on Wickford Harbor is housed in a historic mansion – but while the weather holds, take advantage of the expansive patio and enjoy your Shrimp Olympus al fresco. 16 West Main Street, Wickford. 294-5771, www.tavernbytheseari.com You know what it’s like: you’ve spent a long day basking in the sun at the beach. You’ve got salt on your skin and sand between your toes. The only thing in the world that you want is a basket of perfectly fried clams, with a side of clam cakes and chowder. Yeah, you and the 200 other people in front of you in line at that clam shack. What you might not realize is that most of the clam shacks in the East Bay and in South County are open well into the fall, Don’t wait for an outside table at Venda Ravioli in Providence some year-round. Champlin’s

in Galilee (256 Great Island Road, Narragansett. 783-3152, www.champlins.com) is one of the yearround places. Fish comes straight off the boat, into the fryer, to be enjoyed by you (even in the coldest temperatures) while you watch the Block Island Ferry set sail. In the East Bay, Evelyn’s Drive In (2335 Main Road, Tiverton. 624-3100, www.evelynsdrivein.com) stays open year round. The patio overlooks Nanaquaket Pond, but the indoor dining room stays nice and warm in the cooler weather. Just down the street is Gray’s Ice Cream (16 East Road, Tiverton. 624-4500, www.graysicecream.com) has some of the best ice cream you’ll ever taste, and is open 365 days a year – because, as they say, “ice cream is good every day.” Quito’s (411 Thames Street, Bristol. 253-4500, www. quitosrestaurant.com), on a dock in Bristol Harbor, has possibly the most enviable dining spot in the East Bay. It serves – what else? – incredibly fresh fish, and specializes in Italian preparations of it. While Blount Clam Shack in Warren (335 Water Street, Warren. 245-3210, www.blountretail.com) is only open seasonally, their Providence outpost (371 Richmond Street, Providence. 228-7746) is open year-round.

A Foodie’s Guide to Fall Food and drink events are always in good taste When you think of delicious restaurants in Rhode Island, you probably think Providence, Newport, Bristol. Your first thought isn’t likely the Blackstone Valley, in the northern part of the state. Blackstone Valley Food Tours wants to change that. There are three tours scheduled for September, and more announced frequently. On September 10, visit The Bread Lab in Pawtucket for a lesson in preparing Beer Battered Crepes, and then a meal of Beer Battered Crepes with sirloin, arugula, goat cheese. September 17 brings culinary adventurers to Taqueria Lupita in Central Falls for a Mexican sauce demo, and a dinner of Mole Poblano served with chicken. On September 24, Village Restaurant in Pawtucket will teach patrons how to make Chicken with Plantains, and then how to eat them (though you probably already know that part). www.blackstoneculinaria.com Sure, you like wine. But if you love wine – really love it – then the Ocean House Wine Camp Weekend is for you. From October 31-November 2, get an immersive wine experience from the gourmands at Watch Hill’s most opulent hotel and the winemakers at Jonathan Edwards Winery in Connecticut. Arrive on Friday night for a wine and cheese tasting, then depart early Saturday morning for the vineyard. At Jonathan Edwards, you’ll see the grape harvest first hand, and then spend the day blending your own case of wine, complete with a custom label. Enjoy a picnic in the field before departing for Saltwater Farms Vineyard for a tasting, then back to the Ocean House for a wine dinner at Seasons, where (if you choose) you can share your wine with others. If you don’t want to, we don’t blame you. 1 Bluff Avenue, Watch Hill. 584-7000, www.oceanhouseevents.com
