Bourdain’s Provincetown origins spark the Tony biopic

The biopic Tony revisits Anthony Bourdain’s unruly 1970s Provincetown years—his dishwasher days, drug use, and the fierce kitchen culture that shaped his writing—through friends’ memories and the early path to fame, with Dominic Sessa portraying the young chef. It also reflects on how later fame, marriage, and his death intersect with the man behind the TV persona. The film opens in US theatres now, with the UK release on Aug 14 and Australia on Aug 20.

"Provincetown Matchmaker Connects Desperate Home Seekers"

Provincetown, Massachusetts, has one of the most harrowing housing markets in New England due to limited stock, enormous summertime demand, and heavy reliance on seasonal workers. Dan McKeon, an unofficial "housing matchmaker," helps renters find housing and urges homeowners to open unused rooms to newcomers. The median sales price of a single-family home in Provincetown was $1.9 million last month, and apartment vacancies are essentially nonexistent. Local leaders are stepping up efforts to address the housing crisis, but many are still struggling to find affordable housing.
