Where my girls at? Is there anything better in a N Where my girls at? Is there anything better in a Newport summer than a sundress, flats, & a long hang with your bestie over freshy-fresh cocktails & a few bites? Add prime people-watching & it’s gold.

While I bristle a bit at the term “girl dinner,” if the food fits, nosh it. Caesar salad, fries & an icy martini at a restaurant? Yes. Cheese, crackers & wine at home? Also yes. Whatever you pull together for a classic chat-&-chew.

Start your girls’ night out at @flora.newport—a see-&-be-seen stunner with indoor/outdoor bars, a comfy lounge & standout staff. My order: yellowfin tuna crudo w/ lemon vinaigrette, chili flake, Maldon salt, & a tostada trio topped with smoked bluefish, Ibérico ham & burrata. Add a vodka martini with blue cheese-stuffed olives. If Abdul’s bartending, even better. Pow.

Got a bachelorette crew? Flora’s late-night scene is the spot. The yacht-view deck, floral wallpaper & sweeping staircase = bridal selfie dreams.

Next up: @clarkecookehouse, a Newport institution. The Candy Store & Midway bars are ideal for catching up over oysters, sushi & a strong cocktail. My picks: the Abi Roll (salmon, avo, shrimp, tobiko), tomato salad with corn, goat cheese & pignoli nuts, or the fall fave—Brussels sprout Caesar. Mix & match at will, & look for bartenders like Mitch & Luke.

Traveling with a pack? The Cooke House is a scene after 10, with a lively, adult party vibe & bands on Saturday nights. And the Sky Bar? The must of all musts on a weekend. DJ spinning, cocktails flowing, & the most fabulous crowd you’ll find in Newport.

Then there’s @queenannesloft—perched above Queen Anne Square in downtown Newport. Chandeliers, weekend cocktail hours & an Insta-worthy bottomless DJ brunch.

@wharffishhouse is another Newport rooftop favorite—open-air, covered, & perfect for poke bowls, tacos, dumplings & tiki cocktails. Bonus: buck-a-shuck oysters 3–5 p.m. weekdays.

Want to splurge in style? @newportboatadventures offers sunset cruises & private charters all around Narragansett Bay, Block Island & Mackerel Cove.

And of course—@landingnewport. Bands, balconies, boats & always a scene. Cheers!

Newport, Rhode Island—America’s original summe Newport, Rhode Island—America’s original summer playground for the elite—is back in the spotlight as Season 3 of “The Gilded Age” premieres Sunday, June 22 on HBO and Max. Julian Fellowes’s lavish period drama returns with eight new episodes, deeper power struggles, and even more drama set against the grandeur of 1880s New York and Newport.

While corseted intrigue and social climbing continue in Manhattan, much of the action this season unfolds amid Newport’s iconic seaside mansions. The Russells, ever-ambitious, eye an even higher perch in society, while Bertha (Carrie Coon) pursues influence that could redefine her family’s legacy. George (Morgan Spector), meanwhile, takes a daring risk in the railroad world—one that could cement his empire or undo it entirely.

Across the street, the Brook-Van Rhijn household is in disarray. Agnes (Christine Baranski) clashes with Ada (Cynthia Nixon) over shifting power dynamics at home, while Peggy Scott (Denée Benton) finds herself caught between professional ambition and the expectations of a prominent Black Newport family.

The opulence continues with jaw-dropping costumes—Bertha’s towering gowns remain a visual feast, doubling as armor in her quest for acceptance among the old-money elite.

For Rhode Island fans, it’s a homecoming. Newport’s sweeping lawns, marble ballrooms, and oceanfront estates steal the scene, underscoring the city’s real-life role as the jewel of America’s Gilded Age.

Episodes air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET through August 10. Newport’s history has never looked so glamorous—or so deliciously cutthroat.
