In sharp contrast to our summers, winters on Cape Cod can seem eerily quiet and isolating. But that's only if you stay at home! There's plenty to do year-round on the Cape, even if you're by yourself. Here are some of our favorites:
Fare and Spare - Who knew that bowling paired well with good food?
The Alley in Orleans (formerly called Orleans Bowling Center and Big Dogs Barbeque) serves up a wide array of terrific dishes with (or without) candlepin bowling. Plenty of folk go just for the food. If you're closer to Mashpee, try
The Lanes Bowl and Bistro, which also boasts an impressive menu and ten-pin bowling lanes.
Wine and Song - Visit the
Harvest Gallery Wine Bar in Dennis Village (off route 6A) for light meals, interesting wines, and top-rated local talent. Open Wednesday through Saturday at this time of year.
Dinner and a Movie - At the renowned
Chatham Orpheum Theater, you can do both under the same roof! Even at the same time! This iconic, restored theater on Main St. features two screens and a cozy café where you can enjoy food, beer, wine and cocktails, which may also be taken into the theater. A must-try for movie-lovers.
