Nauset Beach
Photo Credit Situated on the National Seashore, Nauset Beach offers breathtaking views and broad expanses of sand, framed by bluffs. This is less a “chill” beach than a walking/sightseeing destination. It’s the most easily accessible National Seashore beach from the mid cape, and it’s a bit tamer than Lecount Hollow, with its steep dunes, […]
Cold Storage Beach
Cold Storage Road, Dennis, MA Cold Storage Beach, located on the north coast of the Cape in the town of Dennis, is expansive and peaceful, with white sand. Because it faces the Bay, the wind, waves, and currents are milder than those of the National Seashore. It’s an easy commute from any part of […]
Sesuit Harbor Cafe – Cape Cod – Weekend Getaways from NYC
357 Sesuit Neck Rd, Dennis, MA 02638 A survey of the Cape’s eateries would hardly be complete without a stop at its most recommended lobster source. The Cafe is exactly what you picture when you picture the Cape – picnic tables, boats, a run-down-but-charming hut, and a view of the harbor. The centerpiece is […]
The Best Way to Get from NYC to Cape Cod
We’ve mentioned elsewhere that although the temptation to drive from NYC to the cape is strong – save money in airfare and car rental, drive your own car, road trip, etc – the lowest hassle way to get there, counter intuitively, is often to fly. True, you’re leaving your car in the garage, dealing […]
Driving NYC to Cape Cod – Weekend Getaways from NYC
Photo Credit You can drive any route you want, as long as you fly. -Henry Ford (not really) If you want to do it smart, you’ll fly. If you want to do it cheaply, we’ll show you how to drive. Seriously, though, if you live farther away from the Cape than Hartford, you might […]
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 […]
Karoo Kafe
338 Commercial St, Provincetown, MA 02657 It’s counterintuitive, but often tourist-heavy spots are the best places to go for ethnic or exotic (read: “other than American”) food. Why? 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 […]
