This was the perfect week to spend time in Provincetown, MA or anywhere on Cape Cod for that matter. By this weekend the place will be stuffed to the gills with early summer vacationers. Route 6, the main route out along the Cape to P-Town will be slowed way down and Commercial Street in P-Town will move at a snail's pace (it's already slow-going). The weather is perfect--the leaves are cracking through their buds and the town is in Spring bloom. Most of the restaurants and shops are open for the season with the exception of a few, but even those have their 'Hiring Now" signs hung in the windows.
We are staying in the Bayberry Guest House off the east end of Commercial Street. Right now there's no competition for rooms--we literally pulled up and booked a room. She charged us a simple $150 for 3 in a large upstairs room with private bath. We get a continental breakfast in the a.m., too. We've booked it a second night, no problem.
We have shopped til we dropped along Commercial--there are many specialty boutiques and shops you'll not find elsewhere. Restaurants worth a try: Bayside Betsy's for the clam chowder and extremely outgoing staff, Lobster Pot for....well, the lobster. There's a little Portuguese bakery that's fantastic as well. And if you're a chocolate fiend, don't miss the Purple Feather where they make chocolate delicacies on site sure to sate any bizarro chocolate craving.
