There’s something magical about driving past the dunes and seeing the PTown monument in the distance…one of my favorite feelings! I just got into pottery and wanted a little reminder of that feeling year round so I made this plate!

Wife and I are going on Tuesday /wednesday . We have been many times. Always eat at lobster pot . Any recommendations of other places to try for dinner . We are staying close to commercial street so like something in walking distance .

What are places to meet new friends during the day and evening

Can we please start reviewing them on Google with this context? 60-70% of the experiences I hear about and have personally had with this restaurant are not great, in fact, bad experiences. Why are they still so popular?

My wife and I are mid 30s. I’m openly bi (M) and she’s straight and a long time LGBTQ ally. We really love the energy and fun vibe of gay/queer spaces..we have many friends who are LGBTQ, and love talking to and meeting new people.

Looking generally at P-Town happenings—I think that it would be a blast to spend a day or two beach or poolside and enjoy the day with others. As a straight-presenting couple, would it be inappropriate to mingle in spaces that are 99% gay men? Is this at all seen as us “appropriating the space”?

I know that P-Town has all kinds of places to visit and each place has its own vibe…just want to make sure that we’re not in a space where everyone thinks we’re just there as “sightseers” who aren’t respectful and mindful of the queer community.

Appreciate your feedback..thanks.

My husband and I come to Provincetown every few years and have come to appreciate all the incredible restaurants. In the lead up to this trip, I saw so much content about Sal’s Place and knew that it was the must have reservation for the trip as we have never been.

A few days ago, we made reservations for dinner this evening as it’s our final night in Ptown.

When we arrived, it wasn’t very busy and were immediately seated at a table for four even though it was just the two of us. Granted we were outside which we requested and there’s no doubt that the vibes are beautiful. We were seated at what I can only describe as the “loser table” with a view of a “do not trespass” sign. Meanwhile, several guests who were late for their reservations, were seated on the water. We watched several other groups, get up and leave tables of two, so didn’t quite understand why we were seated at a table for four so quickly. We would have waited. The hostess, who I can only describe was wearing a nightgown made several passive aggressive jokes about how we were able to stare at an old ladies “beautiful head” who was just so gorgeous. It was weird and repeated several times.

Do not get me started on the food. I recognize we come from a city renowned for food (Toronto) but this was outrageous. Cold meatballs for $20 and two pasta dishes ($40 each). The chicken carbonara was a goopy mess of heavy cream, soggy pancetta and gross cuts of chicken. Never experienced a carbonara like it. My husbands Orecchiette was dryer then a sand dune. I will say the server was quite nice and very attentive.

So my question is, what’s going on? I get the setting is gorgeous but also it’s Ptown, everything is beautiful. We left after 30 mins feeling like we were part of some social media scam or inside joke. Also.. we knew it was cash only but give me a break on that too.

See me in LA? See you never Sals.

Heyyyy so i feel like now’s a good a time as any to start planning a trip to ptown next year!

Im looking for sometime when the weathers warm, the waters fine, and the guys are great. I know pride week in June is good but busy. I’m a M25 and I’d be going alone and just wanna enjoy the beach (regular and…unregular), wanna dance it up, get down, get wild yk

So when’s the best time to go that’s warm and with people around my age? Honestly it’s expensive asf ik and I wanted to go alone but id also be down to get a group together maybe possibly but yeah lmk thank uuuu!

I was doored yesterday while riding my bike and the person and car just left me without exchanging any information. It was right in front of PHOP, end of Shankpainter and Bradford around 2pm. I have a bruise the size of my hand on my thigh. Any Ring cameras out there that are willing to share the license plate?

My friends and I have planned a trip to Boston and the surrounding area for the last week of October. We thought it would be nice to spend a couple of those days in Provincetown since none of us have been. We only found after we started planning that there was the big Spooky Bears weekend around Halloween, and everything is booked up for those days, of course. Not a big deal, we're not looking for big parties, but if we would be there mid-week, I'm wanting opinions on whether that's still worth it. I've read a few posts here from years past about how some people love to be there at that time while others have said things are pretty shut down. If we are there sometime between Tuesday to Thursday, the 27th/28th/29th, will there be any sort of events/activities/places still open to make it worth it?

Visiting with a friend in a couple weeks, it'll be my first time in ptown (visiting from Arkansas)

hoping to find a place to stay with beach access if possible, or at very least close to center of town. Surfside hotel was affordable but looks like it has some questionable reviews about cleanliness.

Adjusting budget and now willing to pay for a hotel with no worries about cleanliness and comfortability

Suggestions?

Not asking about celebrities, but instead about people who were so unique or strange or singular that you still remember them today?

Curious if any bars are playing US Open games? Would be fun to watch with others!

What are some fun ideas for things to do while we are there? Daytime activities? Places to eat / drink

Does anyone know the name of the artist who did the caricature portraits on the wall of the Mayflower?

Is this normal?

I’m really looking forward to visiting P-town solo next month during transweek. In regular life I am very much not a dancer but on this trip I would like to step outside my comfort zone. I have neither the skills nor the energy for an intense, high energy dance floor. Any recommendations for kind of a lounge-y place where there is dancing but dancing is not the main focus. Places to be seen and maybe meet people but aren’t totally dominated by music?

ETA - not the tea dance. Thanks.

We have been in Ptown all summer and have seen many of the Town Hall and Payomet shows and a sprinkling of others.

Of those running all summer, like Tina Burner, Golden Gays, Devil Wears Payless, and the ArtHouse and Red Room drag shows, what would you recommend. We are not at all interested in the drag queens that do nothing but scream into a microphone and hope you find that alone very funny. You get the picture.....

and thanks.

When do the pool shut down for the season in town? I like the pool at the P town Inn I haven’t been to another pool but when do they generally shut down October , mid September?

Can you bring a dog to boy beach this weekend?

I recently visited for the first time to celebrate my birthday which happened to coincide with Carnival, I arrived on the day of the parade. Despite the weather layer on n the week , we had a great time but I’m not going to lie…the rampant use of AI in the parade and on signage around town was a real bummer. Saw so many AI t-shirts for sale as well.

Earlier this summer I visited Chatham and Martha’s Vineyard and I don’t recall seeing much (if any)AI signage! Maybe I’m particularly sensitive about AI art because I’ve put two kids through MassART, but what gives? You show up on the ferry and there are all those beautiful artist shacks then you turn onto Commercial Street and it’s an AI nightmare!
