4 Big Events and 54 Great Things to Do This Winter in Provincetown
Love. Love. Love. Ptown is a great winter getaway to share with a true love or to find a new one…
With Valentine’s Day in the middle of the week this year, consider an extended stay through President’s Day weekend. Why rush? No one ever says they had too much Provincetown. Set aside some intimate and casual alone time to reconnect, celebrate, or focus on where you’re headed next. Spend some of your stay outside, hiking in the national seashore and on a beach; and why not explore some of the nearby towns and attractions you may have missed on other visits. Truro and Wellfleet are nearby and different worlds.
Provincetown in Winter has skies as spectacular as the town’s fireplaces. You can choose to dine finely…or more casually with all kinds of places open. Just check to see which are open different weeknights. There are bars and lounges if drinking is your thing. And many guesthouse and restaurant hosts would be thrilled to help you plan a surprise or special recognition for you and a longtime partner, a sexy new stranger, or best friend.
On the 14th, Mac’s Fish House is hosting one of their popular Winter to Spring wine dinners, a pre-fixe treat which on Valentine’s Day is a tribute to chef Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park in NYC. And The Pointe restaurant is opening for the season. At Napi’s, Provincetown’s own accordionist Terri Conti will be playing jazz standards, songs from around the world, your requests, and old memories.
Canteen this winter features a different menu weekly from around the world.
Cozy world-class dining will be available at Joon, Mac’s, Fanizzi’s, Liz’s Cafe, Canteen, The Pointe, Central House at the Crown, The Mews, Jimmy’s Hideaway, Blackfish Pub, Napi’s, Spindler’s or one of the other restaurants open this time of year – Reservations are especially recommended for for Valentines Day/ Presidents Day weekend.
The three-day break is a great one for a little road trip or to catch one of the 20 minute Cape Air flights from Boston…as is any other weekend this winter and spring.
Hike Beech Forest, the dunes, hang out at Race Point beach with an eye out to spot a snowy owl. They are around this year, and it’s an amazing thing to see one of these white predatory birds…usually already checking you out. PLUS, our right whales have returned already. Much bigger than the owls, but harder to spot.
Don’t know about you, but US Presidents make us think of spas. (OK, actually that’s recent. )
Resist what a year like this can do to your well being, attitude and optimism with some spa time. Shui Spa at 82 Bradford Street reopens for the season. All treatments include complimentary use of the Steam Room Sauna and soaking Tub.
Namaste Spa at Carpe Diem has been redone and just reopened this fine winter in Provincetown. The affiliated practitioners are attuned to healing arts including Reiki and Cranio Sacral, making each session a journey beyond the usual massage experience.
Still want more? Run the pool table or the trivia game and take in the extensive vintage gay art collection and masterful tenders of the Porch bar up at the Gifford House. (Up the street from Keihl’s, also open this winter, with Kohi Coffee open for your caffeine needs across the street.) And just about every night is a good night to head to Crown & Anchor Inn for something good including Bobby Wetherbee, Ptown’s most beloved piano man, doing the standards in a way that can only be called “standard” in Provincetown.
Want to move a little more? Why not make your way to the bass-pumping, cozy confines of the Atlantic House, America’s oldest gay bar, where there will be drinks and dancing on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with music by DJ Wayne Michael. Other nights the Little Bar is open.
Atlantic House
And for a different vibe, great beer list, dance floor, sound system and great hosts check in at The Underground, not surprisingly one level down across the street from Shop Therapy…
Shipwreck Lounge at the Brass Key will be open for the holiday weekend as well, serving fireside craft cocktails, although though the official Showgirls have flown the coop and headed south, if you’re around on a Thursday, join the locals for a RuPaul’s Drag Race hosted by Bang the Queen and guests. It’s at the latest iteration of the oldest place to drink and dine in town, Sage Inn and Lounge at Pilgrim House, until the April coronation.
Any theater, um… aficionados out there? Presidents are sharing the weekend with the 24 Hour Theater Festival. Performances are Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday at 2pm, both at The Provincetown Theater. And while you may have folks in your community who do something similar– heck, you might have Broadway–there’s nothing like the seriously talented, eccentric, creatives doing their thing, honing and performing at the tip of the earth with a time constraint. Playwrights write, actors act and the usual things happen, but very very quickly and by the time it’s over a new short play has been birthed and presented, if you get a ticket Saturday evening. Unless you happen to be an actor, writer or director who wants to participate. Then show up for the kickoff meeting Friday the 16th from 5-8 pm. All this is an even bigger deal under the ostensible direction of the Theater’s new creative director and cat herder, David Drake.
Winter also means the Fine Arts Work Center, known for its acclaimed writer and artist residencies, is in full swing with weekly readings and exhibitions. NYC-based Jarrett Earnest, the author of What it Means to Write about Art, a collection of thirty in-depth interviews with major critics, historians and writers, is giving a talk on Saturday, February 17th at 6:30 pm at 24 Pearl Street. Earnest’s criticism and long-form interviews have appeared in the The Brooklyn Rail, The Village Voice, Los Angeles Review of Books, Art in America, San Francisco Arts Quarterly and many other publications.
Late February in Ptown means it’s also time for Snowbound Mates Leather Weekend, where you can get out of the cold and into the heat. Sponsored by The Watership Inn, The Atlantic House, Bayside Betsy’s, The Crown and Anchor, Gifford House Inn and produced by Mates Leather Weekend and Full Kit Gear, this is the northeast’s best winter opportunity to get your leather on.
The weekend kicks off with a Beer Blast at the Watership Inn from 6-8 pm on Friday, February 23. Come have a beer or two by the fire and connect with the men that are here for the weekend. Cast your vote for your favorite Mr. Snowbound 2018 contestant with a $5 (or more) donation to the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod. The dude with the most money raised will gain the title, a cash prize, a free MLW pass and will be featured in all Snowbound promotions for 2019.
On Saturday, fill up at the Snowbound Brunch at Bayside Betsy’s, where you can again vote for Mr. Snowbound 2018 All proceeds benefit ASGCC. Also, get 10% off their regular breakfast menu (alcohol excluded).
Full Kit Gear is offering gear education workshops which are way sexier than the kind of school you’re used to. Registration is required in advance for the two workshops, which are limited to 16 people. Sign up via email at [email protected] (no phone calls please). Be sure to state which time slot you would prefer either 12:30 pm or 2pm and if you are willing to attend either time period. Slots will be handed out on a first come first served basis.
And there are parties up and down Commercial Street (but mostly right in the middle).
On Friday, February 23, you can choose between the Snowbound Cock Party at Paramount at the Crown & Anchor where you should wear your thermal shirts, long johns, or less. There’s a clothes check available. With Bootblack Jay Falcon on duty and music by DJ Chris Racine. Or you can head over to the Atlantic House for the Winter Jock party with music by DJ Wayne Michael.
Saturday, hit the Atlantic House for the Snowbound Leather Dance, after you get your chaps and jocks on for Chaps & Straps at the Vault during the afternoon (3-7) at Crown & Anchor where there’s also a clothes check available.
Sunday don’t miss the Farewell Brunch at Central House where you’ll find out the results of the Mr. Snowbound 2018 contest. It’s an $18 brunch (alcohol and gratuity not included).
Most of the winter in Provincetown events in the section above continue through March and April.
And if you need a culture break on Saturday, Fine Arts Work Center visiting artist Liz Glynn is giving a talk at 6:30 pm at 24 Pearl Street. Glynn creates sculptures, installations, and participatory performances using monumental architecture, cultural artifacts, and epic historical narratives to explore the potential for change in the present tense. Her work seeks to explore the position of the human within complex superstructures in the face of technological acceleration and an increasingly abstract economy. Photo: David Dashiell.
On March 16-18, the bears will be waking up from their long winter’s nap at Out of Hibernation Weekend at Crown & Anchor sponsored by Northeast Ursamen. But it’s still winter in Provincetown.
A weekend full of activities includes Friday’s Meet-N-Greet at the Wave Bar, Tough Drag Bingo on Saturday from 2-4 at the Paramount hosted by CT Cruisers, and on Saturday night the Bears N Boxers party (again at Paramount) where you should get into your underwear (free clothes check available) and get intimate to the music of DJ Chris Racine.
There’s a farewell brunch on Sunday from 10-1 at the Central House.
You can find hotel deals all winter long at 8 Dyer Hotel, Admiral’s Landing, Aerie House & Beach Club, Benchmark Inn, Carpe Diem, Crowne Pointe Hotel is open 2/14 with great spring specials on stays longer than 2 nights, The Gaslamp Bed & Breakfast, Gifford House, Howards End Guest House, Land’s End, Moffett House Inn, Sage Inn, and Somerset House Inn.
Other wintertime events include the long-running (27 years!) Coffeehouse at The Mews from 7-9:30 pm on Monday nights, an open mic for writers, playwrights, poets, singers, songwriters, comedians with host and co-founder, singer songwriter Peter Donnelly. The other co-founder is Mews owner and radio/television personality Ron Robin. You can listen live HERE.
There’s also a Film Art Series sponsored by Provincetown Art Association and Museum – PAAM and Recent Gifts Part II, an exhibition at PAAM.
Oh, and all this and everything great in the winter…not to mention this coming prideful summer culminating in our 40th annual Carnival is brought to you by the good members and community at the Provincetown Business Guild. The Guild works for you.

4 Big Events and 54 Great Things to Do This Winter in Provincetown
“Sex and the City”: Kim Cattrall macht Sarah Jessica Parker schwere Vorwürfe
Sechs Staffeln und zwei Kinofilme lang standen Sarah Jessica Parker und Kim Cattrall zusammen vor der Kamera.
In der beliebten Serie “Sex and the City” spielten die beiden zwei beste Freundinnen – privat war das leider noch nie der Fall.
Dass die beiden nie viel füreinander übrig hatten, ist kein Geheimnis, doch jetzt gibt es sogar Streit und heftige Vorwürfe.
► Der Hintergrund: Cattrall sagte in einem Interview mit Piers Morgan Ende 2017 klar, dass sie und Parker nie Freundinnen gewesen seien, sondern nur Kollegen.
► Als Antwort darauf sagte Parker in einem Interview mit Andy Cohen, sie wäre absolut untröstlich und hoffe, dass alles Gesagte vergessen werden könne.
► Cattrall sieht das eindeutig nicht so – sie veröffentlichte am Samstag einen vernichtenden Instagram-Post.
Die klare Botschaft lautet: “Ich brauche deine Liebe und deine Unterstützung in dieser schweren Zeit nicht, Sarah Jessica Parker”.
Dazu schreibt sie, dass Parker sie nur daran erinnere, wie grausam sie hin und wieder gewesen sei: “Lass mich das SEHR deutlich klarstellen (falls ich das noch nicht getan habe): Du bist nicht meine Familie. Du bist nicht meine Freundin. Also schreibe ich dir, um dir ein letztes Mal zu sagen, dass du unsere Tragödie nicht ausnutzen sollst, um dich als ‘nettes Mädchen von nebenan’ zu profilieren.”
Der Instagram-Post wurde kurz nach dem unerwarteten Tod von Cattralls Bruder veröffentlicht.
Kim Cattrall spielte jahrelang eine der vier New Yorkerinnen in “Sex and the City”. Ihre Rolle, Samantha Jones, war ganz besonders für ihre Sex-Geschichten mit Männern und ihre frechen Sprüche bekannt.
Samantha Jones ist in der Serie die beste Freundin der Hauptrolle und Erzählerin Carrie Bradshaw, die von Sarah Jessica Parker gespielt wurde.
Spätestens nach diesem öffentlichen Streit dürfte für alle “Sex and the City”-Fans klar sein, das es wohl definitiv keinen dritten Teil geben wird.

Gay Adult Performer Jake Porter Defends Mike Pence Amid Feud with Gay Olympian
Gay adult film actor (Men.com, Sena Cody) and Andrew Christian underwear model Jake Porter (aka Jacob Ford) has been vocal about his support for Donald Trump, but yesterday took an uninformed defense of Mike Pence to the internet following the vice president’s tweet to gay figure skater Adam Rippon.
Porter’s tweet, in which he claimed that Pence’s support for gay conversion therapy was “misinterpreted,” was captured by the website str8upgayporn (not wk friendly):
Porter must have been force-fed his BS by Pence’s spokesman Alyssa Farah, who told USA Today that U.S. figure skater Rippon’s claims about Pence and gay conversion therapy have “no basis in fact:”
“The vice president is proud to lead the U.S. delegation to the Olympics and support America’s incredible athletes. This accusation is totally false and has no basis in fact. Despite these misinformed claims, the vice president will be enthusiastically supporting all the U.S. athletes competing next month in Pyeongchang.”
That, unfortunately, is not true.
Pence, as his record shows, is no friend to the LGBTQ community.
In 2000 during his first successful run for Congress, Pence said that he was in favor of sending money allocated to care for people with HIV/AIDS to organizations that provide conversion therapy.
From running a think-tank that published virulently anti-gay articles, to attempting to divert HIV/AIDS money to fund conversion therapy, to refusing to protect LGBT Hoosiers from discrimination, to legalizing anti-LGBT discrimination in Indiana, to cozying up to notorious homophobes, to supporting a ban on gay marriage, and decrying the ‘mainstreaming of homosexuality in the military’ after DADT was repealed, Pence’s record is among the worst records on LGBTQ issues of anyone who has ever occupied the office of the Vice President.

북한 응원단의 ‘가면’에 대한 통일부의 해명이 나왔다
2월 10일, 열린 여자아이스하키 남북 단일팀과 스위스 대표팀의 조별리그 1차전 경기에서 낯선 장면이 목격됐다. 한반도기를 들고 선수들을 응원하던 북한 응원단이 함께 똑같은 ‘가면‘을 쓴 것이다. ‘로이터 통신’에 따르면, 한 남성의 얼굴이 새겨진 이 가면에 대해 현장에 있던 관중은 ”정말 기괴하다”고 말했다.
그리고 이날 여러 매체들은 이 가면이 ‘김일성의 젊은 시절을 그린 가면’이라고 보도했다. 바른정당의 하태경 의원도 ”북한 응원단이 대놓고 김일성 가면을 쓰고 응원한다”고 지적했다.
하태) 북한 응원단이 대놓고 김일성 가면 쓰고 응원하네요. 여기는 평양올림픽이라고 생각하는거죠.
한국대통령이 얼마나 웃으웠으면 김일성 가면을 감히 쓸까요. 정부는 노골적인 김일성 가족 찬양 응원… t.co/fpCIi7ahEO— 하태경 (@taekyungh) February 10, 2018
SNS상에도 이 가면에 대한 논란이 일었다. 김일성 가면이 맞다는 주장과 아니라는 주장이 맞섰다.
논란이 계속되자, 통일부는 2월 11일 새벽 해명자료를 발표했다.
‘머니투데이’의 보도에 따르면, 통일부는 ”‘김일성 가면 쓰고 응원하는 북한 응원단’ 제하의 보도는 잘못된 추정임을 알려드린다”며 ”현장에 있는 북측 관계자 확인 결과 보도에서 추정한 그런 의미는 전혀 없으며, 북측 스스로가 그런 식으로 절대 표현할 수 없다고 확인했다”고 밝혔다.

John McDonnell Says That Public Ownership Will Cost Taxpayers Absolutely Nothing
Labour’s plans to bring services into public ownership would cost “absolutely nothing”, John McDonnell has said.
The shadow chancellor’s comments came as he outlined an agenda to put public services “irreversibly in the hands of workers” so they can “never again be taken away”.
He told a Labour gathering in London that public ownership is not just a “political decision” but an “economic necessity”.
McDonnell claimed his plans would not cost the taxpayer a penny, the Press Association reports.
He told Sky News: “It would be cost neutral because you would be bringing into public ownership an asset.
“In addition to that, you would not just have an asset – that asset would give you income.
“Instead of that income going to shareholders, it would come to the taxpayer.”
calls for nationalisation continue to miss the point. At a time when the UK must be seen more than ever as a great place to invest and create jobs, these proposals would simply wind the clock back on our economy.
“If Labour turns its back on good collaboration between the government and the private sector, public services, infrastructure and taxpayers will ultimately pay the price.”
McDonnell announced the creation of a working group to look at how cooperatives can grow, expand and access capital, and to decide which sectors should be prioritised in the expansion of cooperative ownership.
He also accused the Conservatives of being “intellectually bankrupt”.
“Under the Tories, Britain is now seriously out of step with our international partners, failing to keep up with them.
“The Conservatives are intellectually bankrupt: caught between clinging on to the failing dogmas of the past and offering a pale imitation of the radical change which Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party now offers.”
Treasury Chief Secretary Liz Truss said: “Independent reports show Labour’s renationalisation plan will cost taxpayers billions and lead to worse services for people.
“Labour would put politicians in charge of running everything from the phone lines to electricity supply, meaning people have nowhere to turn when things go wrong. That didn’t work last time and won’t work this time.”
