(It’s also typically far less crowded.) Beer lovers should check out Norey’s; the poutine at The Fifth Element is a “must-get,” and at Caleb & Broad “you can’t miss the shrimp and feta dumplings,” says Guillen.

Broadway has long been the culinary destination of Newporters looking to avoid a busy downtown in the summer months, and Caleb & Broad is a neighborhood favorite. In the warmer months, the restaurant throws open the glass doors fronting the space so a spot at the bar hardly feels inside at all, and patio tables lure passersby for a bite and a cold one. Unexpected main dishes like the ban [banh] mi bowl with kale and Brussels sprouts, quinoa, avocado, pickled veggies, fried tofu and roasted peanuts tossed in a sweet and sour dressing are a nice juxtaposition to pub food favorites.

Cheers to Caleb & Broad for being a sponsor too and for hosting the Bodega Cat Whiskey afterparty following the Mark Normand and “Friends of Kevin Hart” shows at the JPT on Wednesday. And if you can’t join the party then, Caleb & Broad is a great spot for before or after any of the shows. Whether its sharing some Fried Pickles and Tot Poutine or dining on Sausage Gnocchi or the Fried Chicken with chourico gravy, C&B has got you covered.

Take everything you think about a Newport dining scene and flip it on its head and that's what you get when you step into Caleb & Broad. Eccentric paintings line the walls at this pop-art and graffiti themed eatery on Broadway where the menu items are just as eccentric. Think: cereal French toast and pulled pork benny alongside tried-and-true favorites like avocado toast, breakfast burrito and the brunch burger.

If the weather is fine, grab an al fresco table at Caleb & Broad, where propane heaters fend off the December chill. Come for Saturday dinner, where bar snacks like pretzel sticks and fried green beans in a zesty remoulade tempt your palate, but we all know it’s the sushi burrito that will stick to your ribs. Next door, order a whiskey from the vast selection at Malt Irish pub.

When lunchtime rolls around, Caleb and Broad is your spot for a satisfying bite, whether you're in the mood for a hearty meal on their cozy patio (or indoors) for a quick, delicious takeaway. But if healthy, plant-based goodness is your jam, Root has you covered. Their vibrant bowls and refreshing smoothies will fuel you up for a day of adventure.
