Why you should go…

That glowing neon lobster over Commercial Street has marked Provincetown's most famous seafood house since 1943, run by the McNulty family since 1979. Two floors of dining rooms look out across the harbor near MacMillan Pier while the kitchen turns out clam chowder, Portuguese kale soup, and lobster every way, boiled, stuffed, or folded into bisque. Lines form early on summer evenings; the upstairs Top of the Pot bar takes the edge off the wait. Open April through November.
