While I appreciate these suggestions, some have been done to death. There is so much more in Newport that can be done. There are haunted walking tours, the museum of American illustration, the art museum, helicopter tours, portsmouth nearby is dotted with family farms and lovely vineyards open to try niche wines. If you must tourist, the white horse tavern is the oldest tavern in America. See purgatory chasm in Middletown. Check out rail explorers in portsmouth where you can ride the old rail tracks along the island on a cart and explore nature. If you want interesting food, try Bouchard restaurant, castle hill inn restaurant, drift Cafe, scratch kitchen, clarke cooke house, boru noodle bar, just to name a few. There are plenty of small artisan shops scattered around the commercial streets and neighborhoods of the island.
