      Gentle first-date ideas in Rhode Island

      The Cliff Walk, Newport

      A path along the shoreline past grand old houses, with sea views throughout. Choose the smoother sections for easier walking. Stout shoes are best, as parts of the path are uneven.

      Roger Williams Park, Providence

      Lakes, lawns and gardens offer a pleasant place to stroll and sit, with a museum and a zoo within the grounds. Bring a flask of tea and find a bench by the water.

      Federal Hill, Providence

      This Italian-American neighbourhood on Atwells Avenue is full of bakeries and cafes for an easy coffee. Wander in and out of the shops and take a seat wherever you like.

      Blithewold Mansion, Gardens and Arboretum

      Overlooking Narragansett Bay in Bristol, the gardens are calm and lovely for a slow wander. It is a quiet spot to talk.

      Seasons and weather

      The coast keeps summers pleasant, but July and August bring crowds to Newport, so go on a weekday. Autumn is crisp and bright. Winters are cold with the occasional nor'easter, so a snug cafe is a fine choice. Spring is cool and breezy by the water, so bring a jacket. A scarf and a windproof jacket are handy all year.

      Local flavour

      Clam chowder, stuffed quahogs, calamari, johnnycakes and coffee milk are all Rhode Island specialities. Ask your match how they take their chowder. Seafood shacks and family bakeries are good places to ask for local tips.
