On the way home from Nantucket, we stopped in Newport, RI. Here, there were a collection of HUGE, gorgeous mansions built in the late 1800s - known as the Breakers. This one belonged to the Carnegie family.

One more I forgot to post! Anthony runs a food truck called the "Messy Napkin" and has some fantastic southern-cooking inspired dishes with amazing sauces -- it puts the "messy" in "messy napkin" -- but man is it good.

The Breakers
.
Last month a spent a few days in Newport, Rhode Island and visited two of the mansions built during the Gilded Age. Here are six outside shots from the first one we toured.
"Built for Cornelius Vanderbilt II, The Breakers (1893-1895), is the grandest of Newport's summer “cottages” and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial preeminence in turn-of-the-century America. In 1893, Mr. Vanderbilt and his wife Alice commissioned Richard Morris Hunt to design a house that would replace one on the same property that was destroyed by a fire in November of 1892."
