Gooseneck Vineyards: Wickford, Rhode Island
Gooseneck Vineyards was started by two cousins who have a simple life philosophy. They believe that doing what they love and loving what they do is essential to their being.

Middle of Nowhere Diner: Rhode Island

Camp Nowhere, RI: $3 Food & Drinks
After being cooped up at home for months, a trip to Block Island broke our stay-at-home seal.

Block Island, RI: Visiting During a Pandemic
Isaac and I have been extremely careful since we first heard about the COVID-19. We stopped going out even before the lock-down and have done our best to stay away from people on our weekend hikes that kept us sane. After such long months of being stuck at home, we finally had a reason to…

White Dog Distillery’s Moonshine Tasting, RI

Whalers Brewing Company: South Kingstown, RI
My friend Matisse introduced me to Whalers back in September. Even though I live about a 45-minute drive away, we have met up there twice since!
