Check out Pelosi’s cute video below.

If he seems particularly devoted to Sal’s Place, where it can be hard to get a booking, there was a reason. Pelosi told GayCities that he stayed in the adjoining Sal’s Apartments, “which few people know about, but every night’s stay comes with free dinner at Sal’s, which is the hardest reservation in town to get!”

Pelosi’s video has proved popular, with some viewers adding their own recommendations. These include Spiritus Pizza (a very popular late-night haunt and Provincetown institution), Victor’s, Far Land Provisions, The Mayflower and John’s Foot Long Provincetown.

Anthony Bourdain

Fans of Provincetown might also be interested in the new movie, Tony. It explores the early years of the late chef, Anthony Bourdain.

In the mid 1970s, Bourdain worked at seafood restaurants in Provincetown, including the Lobster Pot. The experience inspired his decision to pursue cooking as a career.

Tony stars Dominic Sessa as Bourdain. It hit theaters in LA and New York last Friday, and expands nationwide later this month. For a social media video, Airbnb recruited Sessa to highlight some of his own Provincetown favourites.

He highlights Ciro and Sal’s, along with Old Colony Tap, the Lobster Pot, and Spiritus Pizza.
