That's special enough on its own, but if you get there on August 19, you're in for an extra special treat as our buddies at the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck will be by, serving their signature creations from 1 p.m. until they run out out of a pop-up Ice Cream Shoppe.

A Sandwich a Day: Lobster Roll at Chatham Pier Fish Market, MA

There are any number of places on Cape Cod to get a lobster roll, but you really can't beat the fishing pier for freshness. The characteristically grey, shingled Chatham Fish and Lobster is just a few steps away from where the fishing boats dock with their catch each day; it's a fish market first and foremost, with huge tanks of lobsters and enticing displays of littlenecks and oysters and cod. But the prepared foods are why a casual visitor should stop by.

A Truly Local Fave: What's Yours?

Everyone has, or at least needs, at least one truly local favorite joint in their lives, a go-to place for real, honest food served in a straightforward setting. I have a bunch of them in New York City, and I live and long to discover them elsewhere. Sometimes all it takes to discover a local favorite is friends who live in proximity to one of these gems.

Just how under the radar is the Oxford Creamery? Jane...
