If you can find parking, it's a great way to spend a day walking up and down the shops. Find anything from antiques to tourist clothing. Lot's of little eats, coffee and trinkets.

Easy spot if you're looking to window shop and/or eat. A good chunk of the businesses are between Memorial Blvd and Wellington Ave. Ocean Scenic Drive starts on Wellington so it's a good transition to another activity. Even though it's a small street, there is a lot of traffic passing through. I was surprised with the noise pollution and smoke from the cars passing through.

If you're on foot, you'll spend a lot of time along Thames. Bouchard and the Oyster house were excellent choices for meals, but be sure you book Bouchard in advance. It's dressy. The menu is unique (but not one where you can't find anything you'll like) and the food and service are impeccable. The souffle there is almost enough to justify a trip to Newport.
