Great EsCapes
This issue of the newsletter includes the launch of a new feature, wherein we highlight places and things on and near Cape Cod that may be of interest to the MBL community. Since holiday shopping may be on your mind this month, we begin with three suggestions for places to pick up those last minute gifts on your list.

The Atlantic Spice Company
2 Shore Rd.
PO Box 205
North Truro, MA 02652
1-800-316-7965
http://www.atlanticspice.com/
Look for this cavernous blue warehouse filled with herbs and spices, teas and coffees, funky china, cookbooks, and other interesting gifts on the left at the intersection of routes 6 and 6A in Truro. The vast selection, wholesale prices, and spicy aromas of this store are worth the drive. Call first to check store hours. |

Benny’s
3066 Cranberry Highway
E. Wareham, MA
508-295-4508
http://www.hellobennys.com/
Whether you’re looking for a jar to hold your homemade holiday chutney, car wax for your hard-to-buy-for brother-in-law, or a toy for your niece or nephew, chances are Benny’s has it. And even if you don’t buy anything, you’ll enjoy the old-time feel of this hardware store that’s been around since 1924.

Trader Joe’s
655 Route 132
Hyannis, MA
(508) 790-3008
In the Christmas Tree Promenade
Enter off Route 132 or 28 North
Open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM
Yes, it’s a chain. And yes, it’s in Hyannis. But if you’re looking for a treat to bring to or serve at a holiday party, or if you need reasonably priced gifts for the food lovers in your life, you may want to stop by Trader Joe’s. This nationally known discount food store is famous for its great selection of frozen gourmet goods, tasty sauces and dips, and too many other goodies to mention by name. |
