Those visiting Newport’s Monmouth Street will soon be able to sip on an alcoholic beverage while strolling in a designated entertainment district.
Newport voted Monday to adopt a pilot program called the Newport Entertainment District, or NED, within defined boundaries along Monmouth Street from the intersection of 3rd Street south to the intersection of 11th Street. Entertainment districts allow patrons to consume alcohol outdoors in a designated cup and bring it into participating businesses like shops that don’t typically serve alcohol.
