Commercial Street Review
Take a casual stroll by the many architectural styles (Greek Revival, Victorian, Second Empire, and Gothic, to name a few) used in the design of the impressive houses for wealthy sea captains and merchants. The Provincetown Historical Society puts out a series of walking-tour pamphlets available for about $1 each at many shops in town. The center of town is where the crowds and most of the touristy shops are; people-watching here is supreme. The East End is mostly residential, with an increasing number of nationally renowned galleries; the similarly quiet West End has a number of small inns with neat lawns and elaborate gardens.

This is the big shopping and restaurant stretch in Provincetown, crowded beyond belief in high season. Lots of small boutique shops and restaurants of varying quality at its center, quieter at its ends with more homes, galleries, and mom-and-pop stores. Definitely a must for people watching and architectural peeping, too.
