The Cooked Goose

Rhode Island


With its appealing selection of Benedicts, omelets, baked goods (pain au chocolat, house-made doughnuts) and exotic sandwiches (consider the Nirvana, with baked tofu, honey-ginger dressing, cheddar cheese and sprouts on wholewheat bread), this is a favorite of the Watch Hill elite. Prices are reasonable and its location across from the harbor makes it good for boat-watching.
