Newport is certainly a popular destination spot during the summer, but the students at Salve Regina University have Newport at their disposal during the chilly winter months. It may seem like the city isn’t as exciting during the winter, but there are actually many opportunities that you can take with your roommates, friends, or even family that may not be available during the busy, crowded summer season. Here are seven discounts and deals that can make a dreary winter day more bright and fun!
Perro Salado

19 Charles Street
Looking to add some spice to a chilly winter evening? Look no farther than Perro Salado, a hip Mexican Restaurant that offers half-price entrees every Tuesday. Its fresh, organic menu offers traditional dishes as well as giving Mexican flair to typical Newport cuisine, such as surf-and-turf served with an avocado salad on the side. If a Sunday lunch with the girls is what you’re looking for, you can also go for its “Diez a Domingo” deal, which offers a $10 menu every Sunday.
RaNew Salon

(401)619-4848
580 Thames Street
Your schedule is probably jam-packed during the school year. Class, your social life, and work are big causes for stress, and you may crave a professional facial and massage to relax and melt your troubles away. Through Yelp.com, RaNew Salon is offering their typically $70 hour-long, customized facial with face, neck, and shoulder massage for only $40. This deal is valid for 1 year after purchase, and is a great way to pamper yourself without the outrageous price!
Mudville Pub

If you’re craving traditional pub dishes, Mudville Pub offers deals that can be taken advantage of daily. Most of the deals, such as “Fried Chicken Sundays” and “Spaghetti and Meatballs Wednesdays,” are offered for only $9.95. If you’re willing to spend $12.95 on Tuesdays, you can have their “Prime Rib Tuesdays” deal. Find Mudville Pub on Facebook to get 50% off appetizers at any time.
Mama Leone’s Pizzeria Restaurante
(401)847-7272
150 Connell Hwy
Nothing seems to be quite as comforting and satisfying than a delicious Italian meal on a cold winter evening. Mama Leone’s offers 50 percent off all pasta dishes when you dine in on Wednesdays. Want your deal to come with a small challenge? Try to beat the clock on Pizza Challenge Mondays, where the time you call is the price you pay for a large cheese pizza – so if you call at 4:02 PM, you only have to pay $4.02 for the pizza! The Pizza Challenge is from 4-9 PM, so even if you call at the last minute your pizza will still be under $9.
