When we didn't think the Apple Cider Doughnuts from Hard Pressed Cider Co. could be any better—we introduce to you the Cider Donut Sundaes from The Wicked Whisk.

To create this beauty, they use only the best cider donuts around, add caramel apple pie ice cream and warm caramel, and top it with whipped cream.

Yes—a dessert can sound that good.

It is PSL season—but make it local. 

Made fresh in small batches, The Nitro Bar has perfected—yet again—the best (and vegan) Pumpkin Spice Syrup for this fall season. Have it with nitro or espresso, or paired with a seasonal sweet. If Pumpkin is not your thing, opt for their seasonal Cinnamon Sugar flavor instead.

Run don't walk, these fall favorites tend to sell out by the end of each week!

A cup of apple cider, a stroll along Newport's Cliff Walk in the crisp fall air, leaf peeping and ocean views for days—the perfect fall activity has been unlocked. 

Spend your Saturdays and Sundays throughout the fall at The Chanler at Cliff Walk's new Apple Cider Bar. Visit the outdoor bar and enjoy a mulled cider from Rose Hill Heirlooms, or upgrade to an adult version with a shot of bourbon. Open (weather dependent) from 1:00pm - 4:00pm, and will be closed for a private event on 9/30 and 10/15.

Note: Alcoholic beverage upgrades must remain on the property. Parking is complimentary.

📍 The Chanler at Cliff Walk, 117 Memorial Blvd, Newport, RI 02840

So, you might not be taking daily trips to the ice cream shop to beat the Summer heat, but that doesn't mean you can't indulge in a cone or two (or ten) during the Fall months. And what better flavor than Pumpkin Spice to welcome the new season. Available at Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown, both hand-scooped (cone or cup), and in containers in the frozen section at the farm store. 

Pro-tip: While you are there—check out their pick-your-own pumpkins, apples, and browse their adorable farm store, cafe, and pop-up Farmaesthetics shed.
