I love the Brick Alley Pub and spent many nights at One Pelham. And of course since I arrived in Newport as a poor college student, Salas was popular. You could eat spaghetti dinner for less than McD's.
I was there for college (Salve '83) and then lived there for the next 9 years. Only left because I wanted my kids to be close to their grandparents and cousins.
