The aroma of meals crafted with the flavors of harvest. Warm light waning over lush treetops. That intrinsically cozy feeling that settles in. November on The Coast is like nothing else.
As if that wasn't enough to make our hearts full, the month is filled with so much to see and do.
From the return of some truly classic events, like Newport Restaurant Week and Holidays at the Newport Mansions, to charming exhibits, afternoon teas, and enchanting festivals to kick off the holiday season, November has us busy in all the right ways.
