Gourmet Paradise

A June 2003 trip to Provincetown by ajl

Provincetown, MA was an excellent location to get away from it all. Lots of gourmet restaurants, friendly people, and good walking in a very casual setting. P-Town is known for the alternative lifestyle of its residents, but this is a very FAMILY friendly resort town. Highly recommend it.

Best Things About the Resort:
Location! Location! Location! Five minutes out of town, but this was its appeal. We could sleep late when we wanted to.

Resort Experience:
The condos in the main building are cute, clean, and really comfortable. There is another building with studio apartments that was not up to our usual standard--we're high maintenance--but once we moved to the main building, we couldn't have been happier.

Everything we could have wanted was available in the one-bedroom condo. The building has a nice game room for kids and teens, as well as a well-appointed lounge with a big-screen T.V. The staff was outstanding with special kudos to Cindy, the Manager. We look forward to going back!

Front Street RestaurantBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Front Street"

Excellent seafood in a casual environment. In addition, the rack of lamb was as good as any I have had in the metropolitan city I live in. There are weekly specials that change on Thursday. The wine list is extensive and well priced. Don't leave without the warm peach polenta cake!

Clem Ursie'sBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Clem and Ursie's"

What an unusual place! Known only to the locals, it's like a big fast food seafood bar serving everything from lobster to sushi. Easily the best New England Clam Chowder ever -- freshly made every day! You choose your own lobster from the tank (at $8/pound, choose a big one!) and they cook it and serve with your choice of accompaniments. Fish fry, hot dogs, or succulent burgers for the non-seafood eaters in your party. Overall, great place! And cute T-shirts!

Dolphin Fleet Whale WatchBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Whale Watch: Dolphin Fleet of Provincetown"

The whales and dolphins were awesome! You could almost reach out and touch them. There was a naturalist on board who made the trip that much more pleasurable because we knew what we were looking for and at! We sat on top on the first trip and ended up sunburned because we were unprepared! Hats and sunscreen required! Second trip cloudy and cool and we stayed in lower deck. Layer up. It can be cool on the water. Huge boat. Minimal chance of seasickness. Reservations a must!
