If you are looking for a great place to eat on Saturday afternoon during or after the St. Patrick's day parade in Newport, I would suggest heading over the The Red Parrot. It is a huge restaurant located on Thames Street in the heart of Newport. They have a giant food and drink menu that would please anyone's taste-buds and thirst. They have typical bar food, seafood, pizzas, burgers, chicken, and basically anything else a college student would want to eat.

Plus, Newport is beautiful. You can see the water from The Red Parrot, which makes your dining experience there even better. The nachos are to die for and they are a great appetizer or you could even get them for your meal if you're a cheese lover such as myself.

For the hot spring and summer days coming up, The Red Parrot serves a wide selection of beer and frozen drinks. Click here to check out their site and menu. You will love The Red Parrot whether you're going for a meal with your parents or drinking with your buddies. Stop by and check it out, it is about twenty minutes from campus and the Narragansett Pier.
