Lower Cape + Commercial St.
Temperatures on Cape Cod on Easter Sunday reached the upper sixties which means it was warm enough to be on the beach in a tank top! I took full advantage.
Mom, Adam and I road tripped about the Lower Cape visiting a number of beaches on the Atlantic side in the beloved towns of Wellfleet, Truro + Provincetown. 
Cahoon Hollow Beach, Wellfleet 
Ballston Beach, Truro (North and South Pamet Roads) 
i love this house.
i feel bad for this one.
Erosion in full effect :(
Swells. 
Race Point Beach, Provincetown 
Followed by a picnic lunch and some Right Whale sightings at Herring Cove Beach.
After we had our fill of beach explorations we wandered Commercial Street in Ptown.
We visited the Top Of The Pot Bar at The Lobster Pot over looking Provincetown Harbor. They make a phenomenal Bloody Mary with black peppercorn, lemon peel & pepperoncini infused vodka (spiciest ever!) and homemade Bloody Mary mix. Even though 5:00 seemed too late for one, I could not resist. Adam drank a Cape Cod Cherry Soda which was an interestingly sweet blend of Plum Vodka with cranberry juice and ginger ale. 
It was so nice to spend such a gorgeous day on Cape Cod, especially before summer tourist season kicks into high gear. I was so not ready to return to the city and back to work!

Cape Cod | Easter Eats
We arrived to Cape Cod and were warmly embraced by my Mom's Easter spread! She provided quite a feast to kick off the Easter celebrations starting with deviled eggs topped with half a pimento olive. 
Following the luscious deviled eggs was a cheese board boasting three types of cheese; Jarlsberg, Triple Cream Brie and Gruyere, as well as cherry tomatoes and crusty loaves of bread. 
A bowl of Minestrone Soup perfect for dunking in some of that hearty bread was served! 
Adam and I brought dessert in the form of lobster tails and red velvet whoopie pies from Bova's Bakery. 
The red relvet whoopie pies are one of my favorites. Dense yet pillowy deep red cakes sandwich a rich fluffy buttercream that is out of this world. 
We stopped eating long enough to take in a movie at the Cape Cinema - a single theater historic venue located just off Route 6A in Dennis. 
It is one of the only theaters on Cape Cod where you can view independent films. Showing this evening was Win Win one of this years Sundance Film Festival movies. It ended up being a really enjoyable film that I'd recommend if Independent flicks are your thing. The movie generated a lot of laughs and struck a good balance of funny and lighthearted to meaningful and heartwarming. 
The Cape Cinema serves the usual concessions as well as beer and wine. I sipped a Sam Adams Noble Pils. 
Right next door to the theater is the newly opened Harvest Gallery Wine Bar. It is a cute spot to relax with a glass of wine or a draft beer and listen to live music. Enjoy tasty bar bites surrounded by local works of art including paintings, photography and sculptures. 
My Mom just so happens to hostess here and seated us at the bar where I sipped a glass of Cava ($8) and Adam and I shared the Three Meat Antipasti Plate ($17). 
The house cured meat offerings included prosciutto, salami and bresaola. Once my Mom was off her shift we shared a classic dessert of Creme Brulee ($8), the sweet custard was paired with a tart and fruity rhubarb compote. 
I paired dessert with a glass of Ruby Porto ($9). 
A jazz duo played well into the evening as I drank a nightcap of Stone Pale Ale, one of two choices on tap. Vacationing on Cape this summer? This place is a fantastic little addition to Dennis Village for some light food and drink in a cozy artsy atmosphere.
The next morning my Mom served a hearty Easter Brunch of Strawberry and Raspberry buttermilk pancakes plus Jarlsberg cheese and pepper omelets with Applewood smoked bacon. 
Complete with warm blueberry compote and pure Vermont Maple Syrup, it was the perfect way to celebrate Easter morning and fuel for a long day of exploring the beaches of the lower Cape!
This day on Cape coming next!
