""Just leave your troubles behind" are the last words of a catchy, famous jingle for the Block Island Ferry. I've lived in Rhode Island my whole life, and heard this jingle more times than I can count. I have to admit there's something to it: After years of going on day trips, weekend getaways, and longer vacations to tons of New England hot spots, nowhere quite eases my troubles like Block Island."
"Looking for a quick breakfast or lunch? Head to Persephone's Kitchen, my go-to spot for an iced latte and "Splendid Egg Sandwich" made with egg, cheddar, avocado, arugula, tomato, and bacon. Later, local seafood is a must. My personal favorite is sushi from The Oar, which also has (in my opinion) the best Mudslide on the island. Pro tip: Order one with a banana to make it even better."
A lifelong New Englander and Rhode Island resident frequently takes budget-minded trips to Block Island, a quaint island nine miles off the mainland reachable by a $20 round-trip ferry. A catchy ferry jingle promises to "just leave your troubles behind" and the island's beaches, seafood, and relaxed pace consistently deliver that respite. Summers include annual day trips for positivity, relaxation, and island time. Dining ranges from breakfast sandwiches at Persephone's Kitchen to sushi at The Oar, with local favorites such as the Surf Shack, Atlantic Inn, Yellow Kittens, Blocks of Fudge, and Aldo's Bakery.
