Newport Skating Rink To Open, Be Slippery

The Journal reports Newport's skating rink is set to open on Wednesday following the lighting of the Newport Christmas Tree. Beginning at 6:30, skating will be free for two hours. After tomorrow though, skates and rink time will cost $5 weeknights and $6 on weekends. By contrast, skating at Bryant Park (42nd St and 5th Avenue), in Manhattan, is free (bring your own lock for the lockers).

The skating rink sits directly in front of Newport's newest condominium tower, The Shore Club and is intended to draw in customers from outside of Newport to the River Market. The River Market is a branding term for the collection of retail stores in the base of the Shore building and Aqua, a 31 story tower directly east of Shore Club will also eventually have retail.

It's great that a skating rink has been built to attract people to visit the Newport River Market. The only problem is that there are no stores yet (aside from Newport Skates and HSBC).

Any word on what stores will be joining the market and when these stores will likely open?
