About Newport, Money Magazine writes: 

WHAT TO DO: Make for the Breakers, one of Newport's most famous mansions. The former summer "cottage" of the Vanderbilts "is a stunning example of Gilded Age grandeur during the holidays," says Meaghan O'Neill, founder of regional blog PuddingstonePost.com. There's also a model train that will keep kids occupied for hours. Bundle up and take a walk in the Point neighborhood, where Colonial-era houses sport twinkling holiday decorations. Then get cozy by the fireplace at the 18th-century Clarke Cooke House for a special-occasion dinner ($120 for two).

HOW TO SAVE: Prices are slashed throughout the city. At the Hotel Viking, for example, rates are $129, down from $379 in the summer. Opt for the Newport Mansions Package ($169 a night), which includes overnight accommodations, breakfast for two, parking, and two tickets to visit the Newport Mansions. At Jo's Bistro, a meal and a glass of wine costs $21 from Sunday through Wednesday; entrées alone are typically $25.
