Champlin’s
Since you’re right by the ocean grab some Rhode Island chowder (clear broth with clams and veggies) at the legendary Champlin’s, here in one of the nation’s busiest fishing ports. Equally legendary are the views from Champlin’s sunny decks.
“This is one thing I absolutely require,’’ said Jennifer Brown of Jacksonville, Fla., dining on chowder and clamcakes, another Champlin’s specialty. “I come to Rhode Island once a year and coming here is the one thing I must do.’’
Champlin’s started as a shack in 1932 and over the years grew to its current two-level building with knotty pine interior.
For a mere $3.79 you get a half pint of Rhode Island chowder, and $2.40 more gets you a trio of clamcakes. 256 Great Island Road, Point Judith, 401-783-3152, champlins.com.
