5. You cam easily pay homage to another hardworking man. Hyannis boasts both the JKF memorial and the JFK museum.

6. It's brimming with history. This is an area in which it pays to know an obscure fact.or two, for that lull in the friendly banter at a business cocktail party.

7. You can relax. It can be hard, but taking a break is just as important to your professional life as it is to burn the midnight oil. Walk the beaches, sleep in, linger over your coffee, spend an entire day with just yourself and your significant other.

For a workaholic on Cape Cod, there are plenty of modern conveniences that make it ideal to take a vacation in this lovely spot and keep you in touch with your office. Even more, there is plenty to make you put it on the backburner. You might even want to leave your cellphone at home.

Chef is formerly from the Four Seasons hotel chain."

"Wonderfully prepared food graciously served in the recycled Corpus Christi church in downtown Sandwich. Extensive wine list. The restaurant for special occasions or if you just want great food in a quiet, elegant atmosphere."
"By far the best on Upper Cape Cod! Once we got a reservation, everything else was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful--not pretentious. The setting was warm and comfortable--nice chairs, well spaced tables, fireplace, lovely music and the ability to carry on conversations with friends. The food was the best of all. Beautiful presentation, nice proportions and exquisite taste. Well worth the price. We will go back frequently."
"The food is divine and the service is saintly. the setting in a converted church is beautiful."
"Upscale dining, good food, pleasant surroundings. Well worth the visit!"
"The new american cuisine is well executed. the church atmosphere is interesting. the service is very good. we went for the early-bird special....three courses for $25. a bargain as most of the main courses that you can choose from are about $20 ala carte. our party of 5 had a good time."
"The artwork in Painted Lady will keep you laughing. Beautiful Victorian (Second Empire). Decorated for Christmas, even the tree ornaments kept pace with the "lady" motif. Comfortable seating, elegant surroundings, exquisite music, delicious food, pleasant and efficient staff. What more can you ask for?"

7 Best Cape Cod Beach Fire Spots

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 22:14:00 GMT

Cape Cod has a lot of great places to fish, wind surf and go fishing by day. But by night, building a fire and sitting around it spending some quality time with the love of your life is just as fun. Some fire spots are better than others, and the best Cape Cod beach fire spots are tucked away. Some are so untouched that being there makes you feel like Robinson Crusoe, which is a very romantic feeling.

If you've never been to South Beach, the trip is more than worthwhile. This highly secluded beach becomes one of the best Cape Cod beach fire spots after dark. Granted, you will have to charter a boat to get out there and back after the 4:30 ferry leaves, but the raw natural beauty of the area is incredible and the absolute solitude is epic. If you want to have some good times alone, South Beach is perfect.

If you're into something a little less rustic, Rock Harbor in Orleans is an incredible place to build a fire and relax. Right off Route 6A, Rock Harbor has an interesting distinction. This is one of the best Cape Cod beach fire spots because unlike most beaches on the east coast, it faces west. Drive up, park on a paved spot where you don't need a permit, and watch the setting sun slowly sink into the water with someone special.

If you want some quiet time on the beach, Sandy Neck Beach is another great spot. On this six mile long protected beach on the bay side, you have both low tides and some great views from the beach's sandy hills. Take some time to find the perfect spot to build your fire, and you'll be richly rewarded.

Building a little fire and getting cozy is easy in Cape Cod. With so many of the best Cape Cod beach fire spots within easy reach, you'll have a tough time picking one. Whether you're going out to pop the question, celebrating life with your eternal flame or just feeling the rush of young love, the beaches of Cape Cod are just special enough for your special someone.

Drink in a church on Cape Cod

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 22:10:00 GMT

Have you ever been to a bar in a church? That’s not the sort of question you expect to hear every day. However, this is the sort of thing that you should definitely add to your list of things to do when visiting Cape Cod. The reverent atmosphere and hushed interior are soothing and conducive to a relaxing evening, whether solitary or paired.

Visiting a bar in a former church building is a paradox. It callsto mind a sort of early childhood feeling of naughtiness to have a drink in a building that once housed such lofty moral authority. This can make for an interesting experience indeed. If you’re looking for a venue in which to try it, you might want to look into the Belfry Inn.

The Belfry Inn in Sandwich, MA has many marvelous features. The Belfry is B&B that happens to be inside of a former church building. It also houses a bar. Built in 1872, the Belfry Inn is comprised of what was once a catholic church. The current owners have carefully retained all of the delightful architecture of the stately building and have incorporated it into the overall aura of the bar itself. The deep red brick of the outer walls gives way to a gentle elegance that embraces the patron and offers an afternoon or an evening of escape.

The intimate feeling can be extremely romantic, especially for newlyweds. The Belfry Inn has more than a bar-it also specializes in weddings. What better place to have a celebratory drink than in the deep recesses of a former chapel?

A visit to Cape Cod can be a unique vacation. Adding the original experience of visiting a bar in a church is something more than a run of the mill weekend away. It can sound mundane, but rather it is quite an exceptional event. And the next time someone is bragging about their fabulous weekend away, you can top them by telling them about the time you went to a bar in a church.
