Description: No trail shoes. No bug spray. Just flavor, laughter, and the joy of discovering something new. Because adventure doesn’t always require a backpack. Sometimes, all you need is a fork and the curiosity to discover what’s nearby. Join us for a culinary experience that goes beyond the plate. At S.E.A.L., we celebrate local flavors, the stories shared around the table, and the magic of connecting with genuine people in unexpected places. Each gathering is different. The menu changes, the location shifts, but the spirit stays the same: explore, savor, and live every adventure locally.
This time, we’re trading the forest path for fork and plate, and meeting at a local culinary gem in Rhode Island.
This month’s location:
Al Forno Restaurant brings the soul of Italian cuisine to life with a warm, rustic elegance that has defined Providence’s dining scene for decades. Its menu blends time-honored Italian traditions with inventive techniques, creating dishes that feel both comforting and refined — bold in flavor, simple in presentation, and deeply satisfying. Signature dishes like their legendary grilled pizza, handmade pastas, wood-fired meats, and seasonal vegetable plates highlight high-quality ingredients, careful craftsmanship, and a deep respect for Italian culinary roots. Thoughtful vegetarian options and house-made desserts add balance and variety to the experience. To complete the atmosphere, Al Forno offers an intimate, inviting dining room paired with attentive service, making it an ideal choice for special occasions, or relaxed evenings enjoying exceptional Italian food in the heart of Providence.

Description: Here, where history meets the sea, the rhythm shifts.
Cobblestone streets open toward the water, and the air carries salt, stories, and quiet elegance. Each step follows the curve of Newport—unhurried, coastal, timeless. This walk begins in the heart of Old Town Newport , weaving through historic streets before opening up toward the iconic mansions and ocean views beyond. The path invites you to slow down, to notice the details: sunlight on stone façades, waves brushing the shore, and the soft contrast between old-world charm and open coastal space.
The Waves marks our point of return —a natural pause to breathe, regroup, and take in the scenery before retracing our steps back through the city. The walk flows like the tide: out, then back, steady and intentional. As the journey ends, the experience continues with an optional lunch at a nearby restaurant in the same area , a perfect way to unwind, share conversation, and close the loop together. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a coastal rhythm, a shared moment, and an invitation to move with intention.
🌿 What to Expect: • Scenic streets, ocean views, and historic mansions • A relaxed, steady pace with natural pauses • Light conversation, reflection, and photo moments • A blend of coastal calm and classic Newport charm
📌 Event Details Distance: ~6 miles round-trip Route: Old Town Newport → Mansions → The Waves (point of return) → return to city
🎒 What to Bring: • Comfortable walking shoes • Layers for changing coastal weather • Water and curiosity
📍 Meeting Details: Full directions and meeting info will be shared the day before the walk.
🌦 Weather Note: We’ll monitor the coastal forecast and send any updates or cancellations by 6:00 PM the day before . You’re also welcome to check local conditions via NOAA .
☕ Optional Post-Walk Social: After the walk, we’ll head to a local restaurant to relax, reflect, and enjoy good company.
