Provincetown, Pilgrim Monument, and Commercial Steet
Assuming you’re not already staying in Provincetown (which we plan to do next trip), you’re not going to want to miss making a visit. If you’ve never been, take our word for it – if you have you don’t need us to tell you. Provincetown is like a West Village to the Lower Cape’s […]
The Corner Store
1403 Old Queen Anne Rd, Chatham, MA 02633 The corner store is just the type of dynamic, efficiently run, carefully staffed and branded venture I usually avoid like the plague in New York. Tossed, ‘Wichcraft, Pret’A’Manger, etc all make a decent sandwich, but they’re geared toward efficiency rather than excellence. (Although I appreciate them […]
You Asked For It – PB Boulangerie
Judging by the number of yelp reviews and people searching for it, the PB Boulangerie is one of the cape’s more storied eateries. I vacillated about whether to post a review at all, but decided that since my experience was mostly positive I could add depth to some of the gushing yelp reviews by […]
Jerk Cafe
1319 Rt 28, South Yarmouth, MA 02664 Situated in a strip mall, as so much good food is, the Jerk Cafe is just about 110% of exactly what you’d expect from a good Jamaican restaurant. The extra 10% is the chef himself, of whom let’s just say…you can’t fake that. Luckily, he can back […]

Fewer people are seeking it out, so it has to be exceptional to lure customers when everyone wants a lobster roll, and…fewer people are seeking it […]
Bangkok Kitchen
339 Barnstable Rd, Hyannis, MA 02601 Ok, I know what you’re thinking- “This is Cape Cod! I want to hear about Big Jim’s Deep Fried Lobsters and Moonshine, and you’re telling me about Thai Food?! Two Words: Hell Yes. Also, get fresh on your own blog. Anyway, this is not Brooklyn Thai food. This […]
Hangar B Eatery
Chatham Airport, 240 George Ryder Rd, Chatham, MA 02633 You had me at “airport cafe.” Anthony Bourdain used the phrase “better than it needs to be” to describe food nearby tourist attractions that’s, well, better than it needs to be to make money, and that’s been the emerging theme here on the cape. Last […]

Airfare Hacks 1 – Flexible Travel Dates/Low Risk
True to the spirit of this site, prior to writing this post, I read a few articles, reviewed some tips from my favorite travel books, pulled up a couple of suggestions from friends who are seasoned travelers, and dusted off my memory of my international-hostel-hopping days in college. Not that I’m not an experienced […]
