A full Rhode Island for ‘Real Housewives': Who should they cast and which locations will bring the drama?
Get Globe Rhode Island Food Club A weekly newsletter about food and dining in Rhode Island, by Globe Rhode Island reporter Alexa Gagosz. Enter Email Sign Up When it comes to locations, respondents were split between Providence and Newport, with Cranston coming in third place. We looked into a few more-precise locations: Here are 10 places the producers should consider, and why. Advertisement Twin Oaks Nothing screams 'your blood type is Pinot Grigio' more than Cranston's most famous restaurant. Bonus points: You might get an Allan Fung cameo. Bonnet Shores Beach Club It's not a Rhode Island summer without a brawl over a cabana at Bonnet Shores. Advertisement Camille's It would be like a crossover episode between 'Real Housewives' and 'Mob Wives.' Now that the Old Canteen is becoming a hot dog stand, this is clearly the best spot to film on Federal Hill. Ocean House If the housewives want to get ''Gone with the Wind' fabulous,' then spending some time at on a morning jog. The deck at the Hot Club Where every conversation begins with 'word on the street is.' The best time to film is Brown graduation weekend, but any Friday night in the summer would work just fine. Alpine Country Club They aren't letting cameras in at Rhode Island or Warwick, you have to be a descendent of someone who sailed on the Mayflower to get into Newport or Misquamicut. But Alpine offers the perfect combination of luxury and… Cranston. Bailey's Beach Club There's no chance that every housewife will be a member of this exclusive Newport club, but every member of the cast will claim to 'know a gal' who is a member. Garden City There's no Nordstrom or Tiffany at Providence Place, but the housewives can get into all kinds of trouble at Garden City. And then everyone can stop for ice cream at Newport Creamery. Coast Guard House 'See friends, sea views, seafood… see chaos.' The directors of the show would be wise to call Judge Frank Caprio and ask him to settle any disputes among the housewives. Foxy Lady Whether it's a night out on the town or 'legs and eggs' on a Friday, the housewives have to make an appearance at Rhode Island's most famous gentleman's establishment.
