Trivia Along the Water at Blount Clam Shack

We love cycling along the East Bay Bike Path for all the obvious health reasons: improved cardiovascular fitness, toning and building muscles, burning calories, increased lifespan, blah blah blah. But see, we recognize that a little indulgence is as important to living a good, full life as physical fitness, which is why we relish any opportunity to combine both. That’s why we love using the bike path to travel to some of our favorite restaurants: we can enjoy the meal guilt free, knowing that we got a good workout on the way there and we’ll have a chance to work off more of it on the way home.

With that in mind, we were triple excited to find out about Blount Clam Shack’s new trivia night, which runs Tuesdays from 5-7pm beginning June 18. It combines three of our favorite things: a solid bike path workout, fresh local seafood, and the chance to prove we’re smarter than everyone else. An easy jaunt off the path in Warren will take you to Blount’s beautiful waterfront location (335 Water St.), where you can enjoy dinner under the tent and take your best shot at trivia. Feel free to stay for just a few questions or the whole two hours. Correct answers can win you tokens to use on your next meal at Blount. Plus, they’ll be offering specials like “Beer & Cakes”: a half-dozen clam cakes, a bowl of chowder and a Narragansett Tall Boy for only $11.99. Just be responsible, which means no more than one beer if you’re riding (you wouldn’t want to have to burn off extra calories anyway), and remember that the bike path officially closes at sunset.
