It was great to read the article on Provincetown and find out what the fuss was all about.
Do you mean the one entitled: "Tea and Beachside High Jinks in Provincetown" by Hannah Goldfield?
I found it wildly inaccurate and biased.
No one here calls it "Land's End". Land's End is the name of the hardware store.
She blithely jumps from the Pilgrims in 1620 to 1899 without really noting the long maritime, fishing, whaling and salt production, done mostly by immigrants from the Azores.
She hardly mentions the real attraction in the early 20th century, which was theatre, including Eugene O'Neill.
For some reason, she pals up with not locals, but a couple from NY, who don't know the whole story. They only discuss the west end.
The rest of the article is an odd ode to Sal's restaurant. Way overstated, Sal's does not hold such pride of place in Ptown ($40 for eggplant parm? Please.) I went there exactly once thirty years ago and never thought of it again. So, some new eccentric Irish owner dominates the rest of the piece.
If she truly wanted to write about food in Ptown, talk to a local. Many more interesting spots in the east end. For real Italian, Ciro & Sal's is much more authentic than Sal's, with lovely ambiance and better prices. How about The Mews, which is actually open all year?? Some of the best food in town. At least mention the Lobster Pot, a classic seafood place on the water that everyone knows.
Of course, the real cool thing happened last Saturday: a huge Democratic fundraiser with Kamala, Pete Buttigieg, our gay governor Maura Healey and Jennifer Coolidge. They had a big party on the lawn of the Pilgrim Monument and raised over $2M.
I'll stop now!
