any quality supermarket not too far from the harbor? (by cab)

by quality I mean something like Whole Food
Market, Fresh Market, etc... where you find quality products, natural and/or organic foods, natural freshly baked and deli items, etc...

i checked on line, the closest Whole Foods are in Providence and no Fresh Markets in RI.
 
Nope, No Wholefoods type places that I know of. But there are a couple of Stop & Shops of good size if I'm not mistaken. They are more akin to a Publix but should have a decent selection of some of the things you mentioned. I believe the one on Connell highway is the biggest and it's right next to a pretty big Worst Marine if the need arises.
 
thks! when provisioning, I like getting some good stuff, not the "publix" type food...

Scott, i'll will be at the end of the month...
 
Cool, let me know, We can bring the boat down and I can make a run to Whole foods if you have a list. It's not far out of my way to the boat.
 
Not in Newport, but daves market in wickford is as close to a Whole Foods as you will find without going to Prov. or Cranston.

Nice store.

We were in Newport this past weekend and there is a natural foods market about a half mile from the waterfront called A Market Natural Foods. (they have a website) They are on Bellevue Avenue across from the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

For anyone visiting Newport that likes Mexican food, you have to visit Diego's on Bowen's Wharf. They are a new BYOB restaurant specializing in fresh, healthy Mexican food. It is awesome.
