Nitro Bar in Newport

Nitro Vanilla Latte, Lemonade and Avocado Toast at Nitro Bar.

On our first full day in Newport we were lucky enough to be guests on a food tour hosted by RI Red Food Tours.  You may recall that we took one of these last year but this time around some new and very exciting restaurants have been added.  We were on the Newport Neighborhood Food Tour.

One of these turned out to be an instant favorite and a very cool place to hang out:  Nitro Bar.  Plus, the food and drink was great.  We sampled the excellent Nitro Vanilla Latte and the Avocado Toast, which now seems a bit of a cliche since we've had it so much, had a very flavorful addition of herbs and spices which hit all the right notes.  Unquestionably the best we've had in a sea of mundane, flat-tasting and even boring avocado toasts.  The coffee is cold brew, baby, and the snacks and sandwiches are served for breakfast and lunch.

We also liked the ambiance here with a clean, airy, light-filled space that was both comforting and modern.  It was also the best-looking crowd in town!  Call it a hipster meets classic, young preppy vibe where everyone is welcome

Morgan was our tour host.  With a flair for the theatrical, both amusing and informative, we have since made it a vow to refer to her from now on as "our favorite millennial."  Her jaunty, humorous, entertaining style made the tour very fun.

Did we like it?  Of course we did.  Will we go back?  You bet we will.

Given it was Pride Month it was great to see so many Newport businesses celebrating the diversity.  Congrats to all of you.

We were invited by Rhode Island Red Food Tours to enjoy this tour as members of the press/media with no promise of any editorial consideration.  Loved this tour and this place y'all.
