Don’t leave town without making a stop at Main Street Coffee. By day, it serves delicious java. At night, Toscana at Main Street Coffee is an after-dinner must. Their espresso martinis are the best around. 137 Main Street. 401-885-8787, MainStreet-Coffee.com
Brunch Your Heart Out
There’s a reason you always see your friends checking into East Greenwich restaurants for brunch: there are a lot of delicious options here. Dante’s Kitchen is the state’s only honest-to- goodness Southern restaurant, complete with Fried Chicken & Waffles and Biscuits & Gravy, and they only serve breakfast and lunch. The perfectly romantic Besos Kitchen & Cocktails has a wraparound porch, a garden patio and a great weekend brunch menu. Jigger’s Hill & Harbour Diner, which has been around since 1917, serves creative benedicts and omelets and is a go-to destination for johnnycakes. Dante’s Kitchen: 315 Main Street. 401- 398-7798, DantesKitchenRI.com. Besos: 378 Main Street. 401-398-8855, BesosKitchenandCocktails.com. Jiggers: 145 Main Street. 401-884-6060, JiggersDiner.com
Then Walk It Off
You could probably use a walk after that meal and, let’s face it, a little retail therapy. Boutiques line Main Street, like Robin B. Clothier, which offers chic and unique fashion made mindfully. Organical Botanical sells its own herbal, aromatherapeutic bath and body products and The Green Door is an impeccable destination for home gifts.

Remember what we said about boater-friendly restaurants? They’re at The East Greenwich Marina, which offers transient dockage by the hour or overnight, and has two on-site restaurants.
Finn’s Harborside has been serving fresh seafood and New England fare for over 40 years. Their huge outdoor patio and bar take advantage of the waterfront, and the restaurant offers free boat docking for customers. Finn’s has live music on the weekends. Blu on the Water is the place to see and be seen in the summer in East Greenwich. The indoor/outdoor restaurant and lounge is a popular lunch or dinner destination, but becomes an ultra lounge once the sun goes down. Think live music, outdoor fire pits and delicious cocktails – plus docking for boats. Marina: 28 Water Street. 401-575-7665, EastGreenwichMarina.com. Finn’s: 38 Water Street. 401-884-6363, FinnsHarborside.com. Blu: 20 Water Street. 401-885-3700, BluOnTheWater.com
