hen you really think about it, November comes down to one thing: eating. The weather turning colder means that you’re thinking about soups, pastas and hearty comfort foods rather than the light salads and fresh fruit of summer. And, of course, there’s that certain Thursday at the end of the month that involves so much eating that you’ll need a long weekend to recover from it. When you think about delicious food, think about Wickford Village. For everyday dining, there are options in Wickford for every meal. For breakfast and lunch, check out Bagelz Wickford or the Beach Rose Café. Bagelz serves up its namesake food baked fresh daily with a variety of gourmet spreads like Walnut Raisin cream cheese or Lobster spread. Try their delicious sandwiches for breakfast (like a Western Omelette on a bagel) or lunch (how about Garden Veggie or a Turkey Club?). And don’t leave without a cup of freshly roasted coffee. For a delicious afternoon meal, you can’t beat the Beach Rose Café. The problem is going to be what to choose – do you go with a bowl of freshly made soup and a salad, like the Beach Rose with dried cranberries, glazed pecans, blue cheese and poached pears? How about some of their fried seafood, like the Out to Sea cod sandwich or Fred’s Scallop Roll? The sandwiches are also really tempting: the Smoked Gouda Panini has turkey and honey mustard; the Prudence Wrap features hummus, cheddar and tons of veggies; the California Chicken comes with avocado and cucumber yogurt sauce… the list goes on and on. Serving lunch and dinner, the sophisticated yet casual Tavern by the Sea offers a taste of the Mediterranean with New England influences. While the large deck is closed at this time of year, the restaurant still boasts great views of downtown and the waterfront.
