When the season slows, those of us who stay put on the Outer Cape savor our stay-at-home evenings — until we don’t. Some of us have been sneaking out for oyster happy hours and pop-up noodle nights and all-you-can-eat fish-and-chips dinners since Jay Critchley’s Re-Rooting tree was set ablaze. But for the hardiest home cooks, a turning point comes a month or so after that. We are hungry for someone else to make us supper (and do the dishes). And we’re full of gratitude for all the places that fly the “Open” flag in February. Note that between pop-ups and specials and last-minute decisions on hours, it’s wise to do what savvy winter diners here do before they set out: call ahead.

A Deep Winter Outer Cape Survival Guide
The Independent’s mid-February update on restaurants, take-out, shopping, and the arts

EATS
Deep Winter Dining
A surprising number of restaurants (and markets that offer prepared meals) have kept on cooking this winter, some with well-spaced or outdoor-heated dining (B.Y.O. Blanket), others just doing meals to go. These restaurants have confirmed their days and hours, but with so much in flux, it’s a good idea to check online or call first.
