Bonnie’s Buzzing About What’s New in Newport, Rhode Island
I love this Oceanside city this time of year. Grab your scarf and sunglasses and get ready for the best summer activities in Newport, Rhode Island!
Explore the beauty of Rhode Island’s scenic shoreline with a Newport Harbor Sightseeing Cruise. You’ll sail through Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay – the perfect opportunity to enjoy Nature and get some fabulous photos! After your tour, cool down by watching the 1974 hit Great Gatsby at the Jane Pickens Theater, and tour the historic Rosecliff Mansion where the movie was filmed.
If your pocketbook allows, one thrilling activity is the Newport Helicopter Tour! The perfect way to see the cities’ monuments, mansions, and landmarks. After the adventure, taste, sip, and snack your way through famous Newport restaurant spots with a Rhode Island Red Food Tour! Explore culinary cuisine and famous seafood dishes at boutique hotels and little mom-and-pop shops alike. Delicious!
No trip to Newport is complete without exploring the famous Breakers Mansion, the largest and grandest of the summer cottage scene. This 70-room Italian Renaissance style Palazzo is one you don’t want to miss! And of course, you can’t leave Newport without a trip to the beach. Easton’s Beach, also known as First Beach, has a lovely shoreline with a carousel and aquarium to enjoy.
No matter where you’ll be traveling this summer, remember, it’s all about style! I’m always happy to assist you with putting together a travel wardrobe.

Bonnie’s Buzzing About the Big Apple – NYC!
I’m so excited for a week of seeing friends, clients in New York City! Here is your city culture guide to everything I’m excited for this June.
Broadway is one of my major highlights, and I’m so excited to see Hadestown. It’s up for 14 Tony Awards! Also, see Ain’t Too Proud, the story of The Temptations, it should be great.
Green roofs are all the rage, which is why the latest Roof Garden Commission is a must-see. The Met Fifth Avenue’s latest roof garden collaboration is brought to life by Polish visual artist Alicja Kwade. Don’t miss it – on display now until fall! Another great exhibition is Augusta Savage: Renaissance Women, featuring the sculpture work of renowned activist Augusta Savage.
On June 11th, many of NYC’s most notable ballroom dancers will be striking a pose at the Met for Battle of the Legends: Vogueing at the Met. Enjoy that exhibition, and the variety of Pride events hosted throughout June at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Every Thursday this summer at Union Square Park, get ready for Citi Summer in the Square! It’s a full day of free performances, live music, yoga, classic movie showings and more.

Exploring Nature in Palm Beach County
This time of year, it’s such a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of all the natural beauty of Palm Beach County.
It’s not too crowded this time of year, and it’s much nicer than having to drive to the Everglades and navigate through the swamps. It’s easy to explore the Nature in our own backyard!
- The Apoxee Trail
- The Winding Waters Natural Area
- The Grassy Waters Preserve
- The Green Cay Nature Center
- Riverwalk of the Palm Beaches
These wonderful places in Palm Beach County have a multitude of recreational activities to enjoy. Places with boardwalks are great, because they are handicap accessible, and you can use the boardwalk to explore all the natural beauty of the swamp lands. There are trails to hike, and wonderful opportunities for bird-watching. You can see the most incredible flowers in bloom, wildlife, and plant life.
Here are a few of my other favorite nature spots:
- The John D. MacArther Beach Park
- Jonathan Dickinson State Park
- Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse
- Limestone Creek Natural Area
The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse has tours, and has beautiful landscaping and natural plant life. Many of the other locations listed above allow you to get up close and personal to the scrubs, the rare plants, the birdwatching, the marshes, and more.
This is the perfect time of year to explore the natural beauty around us. Many of these recreational activities are free! Just remember – whether you’re exploring Nature on a beautiful boardwalk, or hiking to a winery, it’s all about style.
