Provincetown I lived in Boston's South End for three years but never once set foot in its inhabitants' favorite weekend getaway: Provincetown. Every weekend it seemed the place would empty out as my neighbors decamped for the Cape. I always preferred to spend my weekends in Maine or on my roof deck in the city, so I never made it to P'town -- until this week. And I had such a good time I wish I would have started visiting years ago.
I flew JetBlue from New York to Boston and then connected to Cape Air for the 22-minute hop across Massachusetts Bay to the quirky town on the tip of Cape Cod. Friends who have second homes in P'town often tell me they live for off-season time there, and I can see why -- boarded up storefronts and "closed for the season" signs, but lots going on in the year-round community. It reminded me a lot like North Haven in winter, just with a few more people. I stayed at the White Wind Inn, where the innkeepers were incredibly hospitable. My room had a great balcony overlooking Commercial Street and the ocean beyond (photo above), but I didn't get much use of it as I explored town.
