NY Times June 16, 2011 "36 Hours In Newport" suggests the JPT & Perro Salado: A great combination!

Category:News and Press

 

See below: we are very excited about this! The JPT is finally being recognized for the special venue that it is... and happy to be partnered with our friends at Perro Salado

SALTY DOG

Mexican food might not be the first thing one thinks to eat in New England, but Perro Salado (19 Charles Street; 401-619-4777; perrosalado.com) — Spanish for “Salty Dog” — is a welcome respite from Newport’s lobster-and-steak routine. Creative renditions of regional dishes, like tacos stuffed with Baja-style fish ($16) or Ropa Vieja (seasoned, ultra-tender shredded beef; $8), have international touches like fresh vegetables, tamarind glazes and panko crusts, without feeling like a fusion cliché. Sit beneath multicolored strands of Christmas lights in the brightly painted patio. After dinner, catch a movie at the Jane Pickens Theater (49 Touro Street; 401-846-5252; janepickens.com), a 92-year-old movie house in a former Episcopal church built in 1834. The theater shows a mix of art house classics, documentaries and first-run films ($10).
