Seafood Sams in Sandwich

Expensive, but it’s solid.

If you’re cruising 195 at all, which you’re probably not going that way, but stop at Ten Cousins in Westport. A little off the path but everything is great. I’m not a soup guy but I could eat the crab and corn chowder every day. They do mostly smallish pizzas but we usually split the chowder, an appetizer, and a sandwich or pizza.

Where are you staying?

The food down the cape actually isn’t that great :laugh: . It’s all the same. There are a few nicer places and some places that are musts for us while we’re there, but it depends what part you’re staying in.

We stay in S. Yarmouth. Love oysters and fish tacos.

Our go to are

Skipper - Walking Distance, best fish taco.
Oyster Company, Dennis - Food is ok but they have $1.50 oysters before 6pm
Beachcomber/ Moby Dicks/ Bookstore - Wellfleet
Portuguese Bakery / Canteen - Provincetown

Have you been to Devils Purse Brewing, is it worth checking out?

It’s small but worth checking out. Hog Island in Orleans is great for a local brewery.

We had a great meal at the Pelham House in Dennisport. On your way out to Welfleet consider stopping by Caroline’s in Eastham, we love it there so much.

The only Cape restaurant I really know is Fancy Clancy's. (Fancy isn't really part of its name, nor is it really that fancy.)

Once threw up in the bathroom from too much day drinking then came out and ate a whole prime rib dinner.

Oh to be in my '20s again....

Frank Sinatra's Go-To Steakhouse In Vegas Plus His Regular Orders - Chowhound

Frank Sinatra was a fan of the Golden Steer steakhouse in Las Vegas. This is what he usually ordered and how it was likely prepared and enjoyed by the crooner.

Now I have a hankering for Clams Casino.

And a JD and soda.

Frank Sinatras favorite restaurant in Las Vegas was the italian american club on Sahara. Used to go there all the time for my birthday.

I miss Las Vegas

Hate Florida

Thanks

Agreed on the food being kind of meh overall. I don't think any of the seafood is actually from the cape except maybe some Cod from Chatham and Oysters. My wife is from Ipswich and likes it point out whenever she sees the Ipswich clam truck around the cape.

Squid - Point Judith RI
Scallops - New Bedford
Clams - Ipswich
Lobster - Maine
Cod - Probably Goulcester

It's your life, but perhaps it's time to consider leaving Florida behind.

I haven't been there in 40 plus years. And you could not pay me to set foot in that state for any reason nor period of time.

PS I was broke and "living" in Denver, where I have family, for two years.

Cashiering at Argonaut Wine and Liquor on sketchy Colfax Avenue.

Up to and including rampant homelessness, pervasive mental illness, alcoholism, and drug abuse; the advent of COVID, George Floyd, looting, police riots and, not to put too fine a point on it, the national guard on my street.

If you are an outdoors type, love the West in general and Colorado in particular, good for you. Enjoy.

I am not an outdoors type. At all.

I hated every minute of my time in Denver.

Saved 10K, and with my late brother Greg's invaluable assistance, was able to return home to Massachusetts in June, 2021.

By the grace of God. And I am an agnostic.

Today, I have Lou Gehrig's disease.

Which is to say, I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.

I hope you find what you are looking for, Troublesome 85.

Take care,

✌️♥️

OMG The Skipper is still open? We used to vacation on the Cape a lot when we were kids and we ate there a few times. The food was very good!

I've been to the Cape once as an adult after not going there for 20 years. I was shocked- condo building after condo building right up to the water. All the old mom & pop motels were gone & so were a lot of the restaurants. Looked & felt like a damn tourist trap. I haven't been back since.

My cousins ex husband used to have one of those like beach shirt shops in Hyannis. I was a child but I remember the lay out and all the bright neon colors.


I miss the arcades and the giant horse merry go round at marthas vineyard

I would. Have been on just day sails on them.
But from the Bride it’s a definite’hell no’.
She’ll do a cruise ship cruise because she feels a bit less anxious. But she is overwhelmed by the massive size of the ocean , darkness at night and the constant motion.

I find it , a cruise, fascinating and soothing.

A very firm hell yes to the bolded. I’ve never cruised, but trying to get a decision out of me on where to get the cabin would be tough. I like being able to see things and feel fresh air, but science dictates that the interior and lower cabins sway much less than higher/balcony rooms. Then there’s the whole endless dark that must be present at night on balcony views. It’s all too much for me.

Inner vs. outer cabin is no difference . Truly. However to have the smoothest cruise it should be midship and a lower deck. Trust me.
