    Provincetown, Mass., the artsy beach town on the frothy final wisp of Cape Cod, swells with sandy-toed visitors in the peak summer months. With autumn upon us, the crowds have all but disappeared. But John Derian, the New York City-based designer and home goods retailer, says he loves this time of year in P-town.
