The Ultimate Newport, Rhode Island Travel Guide with Nick Mele

Nick Mele has spent his whole life in Newport, Rhode Island — and turned his eye for that world into a career photographing it, in a style Town and Country refers to as "the Slim Aarons of our time." He's also the photographer behind the book A Newport Summer, his love letter to the place he grew up. On this episode, Nick shares where to stay, where to eat, and the local-only spots most visitors never find — everything you need for a perfect Newport summer weekend.(00:00:00) Introduction(00:35:55) Where to stay in Newport(00:40:27) Where to eat and drink(00:44:56) Cliff Walk and Rejects Beach(00:47:20) Mansions, Newport Film, and museum culture(00:52:30) Festivals, car shows, and Coaching Weekend(00:56:22) Family-friendly spots outside town(01:07:00) OutroHosted on Ausha.
