Anyone Been to Taste of Newport ?

Being held at the Hyatt on Goat Island Nov 07 .

Has anyone been to these in the past few years ? Is it too crowded ? Are there many people under 21 ? What is dress code ? Is it more like a wedding ( music , bar , dancing ?) or an Atlantic City Buffet ( eat and wait for the auction and raffles ) ?

Any advice , feedback welcomed . Also anyone ever stay at the Victorian Ladies B%26amp;B ?

I%26#39;ve been to the Chili Cook Off and the Chowder Fest which were both crowded, casual affairs with plenty of young people. If it%26#39;s in the afternoon this would probably be just as casual, if its at night people would dress up a little more but not really.

this is $100. p.p. so i think it would be less children and maybe more dressy ?

It%26#39;s a fund-raiser for a local non-profit; tends to be a bit upscale, not casual, and offers a good food selection and intteresting auction items. Best enjoyed if you go with friends.

Victorian Ladies is a nice place, not over the top but not just average.

There is a fundraiser that is upscale and more expensive and I think this is what you are referring to. Not exactly a family affair or a ';young'; affair.

I think what you are talking about is

newportfestivals.com/Taste-of-Rhode-Island/

This is much more festive with all ages, bands, cocktails, etc., but does not match the dates you listed.

Victorian Ladies is a nice B%26amp;B. Not in downtown, but not so far out that you can%26#39;t walk to downtown.

The affair I was reffering to is Nov 10th ( or 11th ?) at the Hyatt . I was to the one on the Wharf ( casual event ) last year . Thinking of going to the November one this year .
