One of the local “always been there” places in P’twn is the Provincetown Portuguese BakeryP. With it’s no frills storefront, many folks might miss the treasures in this Provincetown institution. If you are lucky you can catch them making the fresh Malassada in the window. These sweet fried dough is the equivalent to the italian street fair favorite, fried dough. But instead of tomato sauce, they add sugar. Best consumed hot and fresh, even better while walking down the street. Don’t forget to grab napkins. Provincetown Portuguese Bakery also has a good solid selection of basic sweets and savory foods include meat pies, and sandwiches. For the budget conscious, the breakfast is a great deal nothing fancy – but it will get your day started. Remember – this isn’t high end, fancy food – this is solid, good working class basics, yet a great reminder of some of Provincetown’s “non-gay” history.
