Way Downtown

Way Downtown

This is another Commercial Street favorite. It sits front and center, in what I would call the center and heart of P'Town. You can't miss it. It's got a slightly urban edge to it (urban by Cape Cod standards). The outside and feel is slightly deco, but not overdone.

This is a hard one to call or fit into a box. It's a little bit of everything. When you walk in, you are greated by a pretty good bakery - there are tons of sweet things to look at and wish for. This is a popular stop for morning traffic to get a muffin and a hot cup of coffee. (There are no Starbucks, YET, in P'Town).

During the evening, it stays busy with late-night funseekers who need a little sugar fix. However, it also has a sandwich shop and a pizza-by-the-slice counter. We stopped here one night when we wanted a fast and dirty meal of pizza slices. There is a small sitting area for those buying dessert or pizza to sit down and watch Commercial Street flow by. The pizza was average, but the quickness in and out of the place is what we were looking for, and yes it delivered that!

In the back is a sit-down restaurant complete with menu service and a wait staff. I have to admit I have never eaten back here, so I can't review this part of Way Downtown. However, I can tell you it is always busy, so they must be doing something right.

I have taken a peek in the back, and they do have a great view of the harbor. The back wall is all glass and you can watch the tide roll in and out over your meal here. They also claim to be the Cape's number one jazz club. Again, I have not been here to hear jazz, but it seems to be a popular piece of Proviencetown's nightlife.

What I love most about P'Town is they don't have fast-food joints. This is Cape Cod fast food. You can pop in and get a hot slice of pizza and a coke. The food is average, but it serves a need in P'Town for a quick place to dive into and dive back out in a short amount of time, leaving with a few calories under your belt.
