Provincetown restaurant buzz

Since the season officially closed last year there have been a number of changes regarding restaurants and dining options in Provincetown.  I’ll continue to update what I hear is happening as I learn more.

Frappo 66Probably the biggest surprise for me was to learn that Frappo’s at the Art House is no more.  Replacing the popular eatery will be Blondies Burger.  Blondies previous location on Commercial Street will remain but undergo changes that include upgrading the menu.

ProvincetownLook for big changes at Tip for Tops’n on Bradford Street.  The restaurant is now being operated by Chef Melissa Ettlinger from the East End restaurant, Devon’s.

Tip for Tops’n had previously been a relatively cheap eats, but one would surmise that under Ettlinger’s direction the new menu will more likely mimic the modern American cuisine that is her signature – time will tell.

LorrainesLastly, Lorraine’s, which started in the East End but has resided on Commercial Street in the West End for years is now looking for new space.  It appears that a wine bar will go into the space and be operated by the owner of The Squealing Pig and the former owner of the now defunct Joon Bar (above Vixen). They are currently seeking permits from the city so nothing is confirmed.

  1. Agree with Dan, really going to miss Tip For Tops’n! They were so nice, the food was great – and it just had a really nice easy going atmosphere. A huge thank you to the former owners & staff for creating some very special P-Town memories over the years – you’re gonna be missed!
