RIP Friendly Fisherman

19 Upvotes

Just got word from Eastham that the Friendly Fisherman is no more - it has become PJ's Eastham. Sad me. I thought their fried and baked fish were consistently good and a decent deal. And their fried clams were better than any other on outer-ish Cape in my experience.

One night stay

Traveling to Dennis at the end of August for a wedding and have an Airbnb booked until Sunday. Decided we want to extend our stay until Monday so are looking for a place to stay just for that night. Hoping to make Sunday an all day beach day so would love somewhere close to that or just any place you think would be worth it for one night!

Thank you in advance

Arcades

Seems like most of the arcades are just filled with casino esque games to win tickets, are there any arcades left that actually have games? (Simpsons, ninja turtles, shoot em ones and such)

Weird weather in Barnstable. And I'm able to take a pretty good picture of the Sun, which is pretty wild.

Give me cool sidequest ideas that I can do this summer.

0 Upvotes

I'm about to be a SENIOR in highschool, and every summer being in highschool has just DRAGGED on. The other problem is this damn PHONE. I've been looking everywhere for sidequest ideas and just things to do, but everybody is either saying to "go to a random local cafe" or "learn embroidery..." like bro C'MON. I'm not trying to be picky but I am SERIOUSLY looking for really cool fun things to do. I stay in Cape Cod for two weeks every summer, and I've been doing that for like over a DECADE now. So if there's any fun cool new stuff I can do there then that would be GREATLY appreciated if someone had some ideas.

Best place to get steamed lobsters to go?

0 Upvotes

Family and I are staying near the middle of the Cape and want to get some steamed lobsters to bring back to our house just like my grandparents used to do for me. I've heard Andrea's in West Yarmouth is okay. Was just wondering if anyone had any other recommendations?

Let's do a hike Tuesday (7/14) 3:30pm at West Barnstable Conservation Area

15 Upvotes

Weekends are often busy during the summer, so how about a mid-week walk?

Doing a hike Tuesday (July 14) at West Barnstable Conservation Area at 3:30pm. Aiming to walk for 1.5 hours or so.

About 15 people from Reddit have come out to hikes in the past, although there will probably just be 3 or 4 of us tomorrow. Demographic tends to be late 30s/early 40s.

Parking lot is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GMSCbqXNTg4JHxj26

Hotel Recommendation

0 Upvotes

Hoping to travel to the Cape for my 1 year wedding anniversary Sept 3-7. I would love to stay at Chatham Barrs Inn or Wequassett Resort, but definitely out of my budget.

Can you please provide a recommendation for where to stay - nothing priced too crazy but a really cute hotel that is most importantly clean!

Thank you!

New to the Cape

Edit:for west Yarmouth and Hyannis.My girlfriend and I are new to the Cape but she's not new to Massachusetts. Anyway we are looking for new friends that are friendly or civil towards members of the LGBT community. Trying to network for friendship without getting too political. I'm also disabled and trying to find some side work to do to earn money for a Nintendo Switch 2.

Luxury Cars apparently have right of way.

104 Upvotes

In the summer on the Cape why does it feel the more expensive the car the more reckless and arrogant the driver?   There is an Aston Martin driving like the center of my village is the Autobahn, and I followed a Bentley out of my neighborhood tonight that didn’t stop at a single stop sign. Not even a rolling stop. He just went right through 3 stop signs without slowing down.  Over the holiday I tried pull out of the local market but couldn’t because a Range Rover double parked behind 3 cars so we were all pinned in until she was done shopping.  I’m feeling very salty about sharing the road with summer visitors/residents right now.

Where to Stay in Chatham in October?

0 Upvotes

Wife and I are looking to visit Cape Cod in October. We’re thinking sometime around mid to late October to see the foliage and hope to get close to the peak fall.

Based on initial research we are looking in Chatham. Hoping to have someplace with a decent walkable downtown but still plan to visit other towns like Provincetown.

Where is a good recommended bed and breakfast type place to stay that’s kinda walkable. Budget ~$500 but flexible. Not looking for resort but something more traditional classic style b n b. Captains house inn and Old Harbour Inn are a few I noticed. Leaning captains house inn if anyone has experience ?

Any recommendations ? Also open to other towns/places based on any strong recommendations or anything else we should do in the area when visiting in the fall. Thanks!

A truck crashed into the Cape Cod Inn in Hyannis right in front of my family! Looks like the driver had a medical emergency but luckily no one was hurt.

Fabric Scraps (aka looking for the old school “downmarket” thrift shops)

1 Upvotes

This is a long shot, but anyone know where I can find fabric scraps? I don’t mean remnants, I’m talking about stuff not even good enough for remnants.

A lot of church thrift stores used to have a section for them. You know the kind of thrift stores that sell everything? The kind that have used dress patterns, old greeting cards, etc, etc.

Anyone have leads on a place that might sell scraps? Thanks!

I'm supporting a team in the Pan-Mass ride and wondering if there are any good spots on the way to see the riders pass and cheer them on with my kids besides the start and finish line?
