  • Provincetown Shopping Primer

    We have been visiting Provincetown for many, many years and we've seen the town change over the years. On a recent morning, Penny took photos of some of the places we are always recommending to friends when they travel to our favorite home away from home.

    IMG_2767

    We often sing the praises of Utilities If you find the place you rented doesn't have good wine glasses, a sharp knife, a cutting board or any home essential, this is the place to find a quality item that you will be happy to take home with you.

    IMG_2772

    You will often see us wearing shirts and hats with fabulous Provincetown graphics. Those all come from Birdie Silkscreen Studio. Once upon a time, we owned a company that created silkscreen designs. We know how difficult it is to do that well and we are long time fans of this graphic artist.

    If it is something odd that you need or if you are looking for a way to spend a bit of time inside on a rainy day, make your way to Marine Specialties.  This year we found and bought some fish net that we could use to block off the stairs to the deck and keep our dog Poppy contained.

    IMG_2792

    We both have shoes that we've bought at Cape Tip Sportswear. Ed swears by them as the source of his running shoes and the sales they have before and after the prime season are always great.

    IMG_2795

    Supporting independent bookstores is important so make sure you visit and make a purchase at Provincetown Book Shop.

    Forgot to pack a sun hat? Visit Mad As A Hatter and you'll find exactly what you want.

    There was a time when we brought the wine we wanted to P-town. Now we have two favorite wine shops in town. Glass Half Full is in the center of town.

    Perry's Wine and Liquors is in the West End. Now we bring wines back to Boston with us because both these shops have excellent.

    This is not a complete list. We shopped at both hardware stores in town and made a couple of supermarket visits. Later in the season more places will be open and will win some of our trade. Our full collection of articles on Provincetown can be found here.

  • Townsman for the Win at Lunch

    We love going out to lunch and have added Townsman to our list of great lunch spots. (map)

    IMG_8768

    We admit to having a soft spot for alumni from Rhode Island where we first met Chef Matt Jennings at his cheese shop, Farmstead, when we were in Providence visiting family. He introduced us to a favorite cheese for which we have been grateful over the years. 

    IMG_8744

    Now he's joined the Boston scene and is serving up great lunchtime options like this outstanding Vermont Pork Cubano with light, airy, housemade chips, and tangy bread & butter pickles. Ed is a Cubano fan and this one made him very happy.

    IMG_8760

    Maine mussels with herbed cottage fries was Penny's choice. If you order this, it will come with a bit of aioli (not shown above, since they honored her request to avoid the raw egg in that addition). Happily, she dipped her frites in the rosé sauce.

    IMG_2778

    We would have skipped dessert but our bartender sensed our hesitation and let us know that at lunch the desserts are smaller than the evening selections. Three wee ice cream sandwiches were the perfect conclusion to our meal. 

    IMG_8732

    This is a bright, sunny room with comfortable bar seating in addition to indoor and outdoor dining areas.

    IMG_2772

    If you find yourself in the Financial District, the Greenway near South Station, or Downtown, add Townsman to your list of places to lunch.
