Guilty PleasuresSome of my favorite spots to indulge
We all have guilty pleasures, right?.....Right?
Nikolas Pizza38 Memorial Blvd West401-849-6611 Of all the amazing Newport Rhode Island restaurants, the first place I want to eat when I come back to Newport always seems to be Nikolas Pizza. The pizza is good (I usually get a large pie with mushrooms), and their wings are the best! I don't like them very hot (I usually get them mild), and I don't consider myself a connoisseur of chicken wings. I've just always loved the wings here.
Nikolas is located close to downtown and is just a little west of Bellevue Avenue. After you've spent the day touring the Newport Mansions, stop by for an enjoyable lunch or dinner. The kids will enjoy playing the Pacman video game inside while you wait for your order. If you want them to deliver, give them a call at 401-849-6611. Ben's Chili Dogs158 Broadway
I love to come in and order, then watch how fast Jerry cranks out those dogs. He does everything himself, even during the busy lunch rush. This guy is amazing! I don't think I've ever seen anyone but him behind the counter in all the years I've been going there, and I hope he stays open forever! ***Update:Saturday, May 1st 2010 is the last day for Jerry Bienvenue at Ben's Chili Dogs :( He's selling the shop to two Middletown residents, who I hope will continue the tradition.
Newport Creamery181 Bellevue Avenue
Trust me, the "Awful Awful" is much better than it sounds. It's a drink (much like a milkshake) that consists of milk, flavored syrup and a secret frozen ice milk mix. The recipe is Top Secret information.
They're "Awful big, awful good," and "If You Drink 3, You Get The 4th Free!" Good luck with that. As much as I like them, I don't think I want to make that attempt. You can get one in the following flavors: Strawberry, Vanilla, Chocolate, Mocha, Chocolate Mint, Coffee, Oreo, Strawberry Banana Chip and Choc O’ Nutter. OK, that's enough on guilty pleasures for now. I'll let you in on some more later. So for now, why not check out some other interesting things in Newport, like the Newport Mansions, Newport Cliff Walk or Ten Mile Ocean Drive?
