"“Let’s meet at the Canteen” might as well be shorthand for “Let’s see where the day takes us.” Stop in for a quick bite and you might end up staying the day on the back patio overlooking the water. The casual New England eatery serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, with creative spins on favorites like grilled cheeses (try the big salami version, which adds ham and Genoa salami to a melty sandwich of Raclette cheese), plus clam chowder with leeks, smoky bacon, and a touch of lemon. Other winners: the crispy brussels sprouts tossed in their own fish sauce, and of course, the legendary frosé." - Nathan Tavares

Marine Specialties

Army & navy surplus shop · Provincetown

Marine Specialties has been a Provincetown landmark for over 50 years. Often known simply as "the army-navy store," Marine Specialties is an eclectic treasure trove of salvage, surplus, slight IRs, closeouts, overruns, misprints, mistakes, spare parts, odd lots, cast-offs, and new and nearly-new items. Over time it's grown to be the kind of jumbled, inclusive, and eccentric "army-navy" store Provincetown deserves. Many people young and old call this their favorite shop.
