This history and culture of a place shape its food, and a good food tour puts the cuisine of a place in the context of the history of a locale and its people. And this tour not only does an excellent job of explaining the long history of Newport, from its colonial founding, through the Gilded Age, including the various immigrant groups who have made Newport such a vibrant town. Tom and Sue are friendly, knowledgeable, and fun, and they share their knowledge of history and love of food generously. If you love history and enjoy good food, you definitely want to check out this tour.
