Fantastic college and grad school aged musical theatre, drawing musicians and performers from across the country. It's a small theater, so every seat is good. The energy and quality of the performers and the pit orchestra is amazing. All at a bargain price. If you're in Falmouth, and you like musical theatre, don't miss it!

This charming bookstore in downtown Falmouth has a good selection of local history books and titles by local authors, stocked for, as their sign says, both children and grown-ups. When browsing there in early September, I overheard the store clerk offer to wrap a patron's purchases for Christmas giving in some holiday paper. That's customer service. The entire store is attractively arranged, a treat for the eyes as well as the mind.

this was my friend and I's first time at this brewery and we can't wait to go again. The guy and girl working the bar on sun 2/23 were awesome! They listened to what types of beers we might like and made suggestions... As we were relaxing outside in the patio area, there was always staff people walking around cleaning up, making sure customers were all set .etc.. great service and great beer made for an awesome end to our girls weekend! I highly recommend this place and will always stop there when I go to the cape . We didnt eat there but the pizza and other food looked awesome!

As part of a Road Scholar outing we toured the MBL with Alan Kuzirian. He was an amazing individual with an incredible story to tell. His research in Alzheimer prevention is revolutionary. But, back to the MBL - the lecture and tour were a combination of classroom presentation, walking around and hands-on. Their founders philosophy of "study nature, not books" continues today. Their research into memory using seal slugs is extraordinary. Monitor the developments around Bryostatin for breaking developments. There was too much to cover in this review - just GO if you can!
