Murder Mystery: “Deadly Delight”

Carnegie Hall at Newport
401 Monmouth Str.
Newport’s notorious past comes back to haunt the city just in time for spooky season!
The new Murder Mystery “Deadly Delight” at Carnegie Hall at Newport offers an evening of suspense and intrigue, creating a thrilling experience as you work to solve deadly crime. Put on your detective hat and enjoy an exciting night filled with clues, suspects, and surprises.
“Our theme is the mob in Newport, during prohibition,” says Sara Abdon, sales and design manager at DelightMore. “Our Executive Chef, Mallory Hemer, pulled influences from Italy as well as the 1920s as she created the menu.”
The evening begins with appetizers that include eggplant caponata crostini, arancini balls with marinara sauce, and mini meatball sliders. The salad course is arugula and radicchio with apples, pepitas, golden raisins, and goat's cheese, topped with a red wine vinaigrette. Guests will enjoy braised beef short ribs with red wine demi glace, paired with boursin herb mashed potatoes, and thyme roasted carrots for dinner. For dessert? “Secrets!”
“DelightMore really wanted to find a way to highlight Newport's rich history,” Abon says. “We felt that hosting an event at our new venue, Carnegie Hall, would be an ideal location and starting point to really kick off this series, have some fun, and maybe learn something new.”
Even if they don’t discover “whodunnit” on their own, Abon thinks “Deadly Delight” is a great way to they learn about the different bourbons and cocktails, savor an evening with great food, and enjoy an immersive performance in a beautiful, historic space.
