Land's End

A reader writes:

Me and the wife got a chance to visit PTown for the first time last week. As someone who's lived somewhere on the California coast all my life (I now live in Los Angeles), I was until last week completely unfamiliar with The Cape, except for descriptions of the place from your seasonal blogging. What a fantastic little town! Picturesque, bucolic yet sophisticated, rich history, friendly people. Consider yourself fortunate to be able to spend a few months out of the year in such a great place. The two highlights for me were:

1. looking accross the bay and seeing how the land narrows and curls to the lighthouse at the end, feeling like I'm looking at the tip of the Country; and

2. seeing John Waters struggle past me on a bicycle on Commercial Street.

I only wish I asked you or Zagat's for a recommendation of a good breakfast place before we arrived. The meal at the post office cafe' was awful.

Er, yes. The new restaurant hit of the season is Frappo66, wherein Steve Frappolli provides gourmet food to-go, in a cafeteria-style student union setting. It's in the Art House right in the center of town. Best regular food: Cafe Heaven. Best high end food: Devons, Edwige, Red Inn, the Mews. Just my two cents. Best fresh seafood: Clem and Ursie's or Mojos. Best delis: Angel Foods, Far Land. Best sandwiches and cupcakes: Relish in the far West End. Best liquor store: Perry's. So good to be back.
