Dive into Ptown’s culinary and cultural treasures on this 2-hour Anthony Bourdain centric stroll, savoring a lobster roll, Ice Cold Beer, and a Portuguese malasada (all of his favorites) while uncovering tales of Bourdain and seaside lore. Pass the Lobster Pot, its neon sign glowing, where Bourdain toiled in the 1970s. Roll by the Old Colony Tap, a 1937 dive bar Bourdain loved. Stop at Spiritus Pizza, a 1971 haven that sparked the 1990 riot and housed Bourdain. Savor a malasada at the Portuguese Bakery. Slow at Lopes Square, with its 1801 anchor from the 1873 railroad. Admire Cannery Wharf Park’s harbor views. Catch the UU Meeting House’s 1847 steeple. Pass the Provincetown Library, with its schooner and Bourdain’s archives. Wave at the A-House, a 1798 tavern of Tennessee Williams and Billie Holiday. End at the Boatslip Resort’s Tea Dance, a 1965 LGBTQ+ disco tradition!

Thinking of gifting the Local Legends and Lobster Roll Tour!

I’m considering this for my fiancé’s birthday since he loves Anthony Bourdain. The idea of tasting local food while learning about Ptown’s history sounds awesome! Plus, lobster rolls are his favorite! Has anyone done this tour recently? Any tips on what to wear or expect?

Just did the Local Legends tour, and wow!

I just got back from the Local Legends and Lobster Roll Tour in Ptown! It was such a blast. The lobster roll at the Lobster Pot was incredible, and learning about Bourdain's connection to the town made it even better. I loved the walk and seeing the harbor views. The guide was super friendly and knew a ton about the area. Highly recommend it if you’re in Cape Cod!
