Lobster roll, anyone?
VisitNewEngland.com recently asked its readers to rank their favorite places for lobster rolls and eight of the winners were on Cape Cod.
The lobster roll could be Connecticut-style − served warm, featuring 'lobster meat drizzled (or soaked!) in melted butter" − or Maine-style − "served cold, with lobster lightly tossed in mayonnaise, sometimes with a dash of lemon or a sprinkle of celery,' VisitNewEngland.com told readers.

Cape Cod Beer has signed a purchase agreement with Triton Beverage Group, a newly formed entity comprising Hog Island Beer Company and Mayflower Brewing Company.
Owners Beth and Todd Marcus, who started Cape Cod Beer, decided to sell their Hyannis brewery after two decades of running it.
'While we weren't actively trying to sell, this came along and I have an almost 27-year-old child working overseas and I want to be able to visit,' Beth Marcus said Wednesday, June 4, in sharing the retirement news with the Cape Cod Times.
What does this mean for the future of the local favorite beer, and how do the new owners plan to expand it? Read the story for all the details.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has removed from its website a list of cities, states, and counties that it said deliberately defy federal immigration laws, including a Cape Cod town and Barnstable County. A press release without the list remained on the website Monday, June 2.
Orleans was the only Cape Cod town named on the list, and Barnstable, Dukes, and Nantucket counties were among the counties in Massachusetts singled out, as well as the state as a whole, according to a MassLive report on May 30.
"We have not adopted any policy that would identify us as a sanctuary city and our local law enforcement staff work closely with our federal partners on all matters consistent with the law,' said Orleans Select Board Chairman Kevin Galligan.
Barnstable County Sheriff Donna Buckley called the list a political stunt and stated the county remains committed to cooperating with law enforcement within Massachusetts law.

Depin doesn't have to retire, but said in an interview at the school May 28, 'I wanted to leave while I still loved it. I'm so blessed that I've had a career I've loved. I've had a job I was meant to have.'

Railroad operator CSX beats quarterly profit estimates on higher volumes
(Reuters) -CSX reported second-quarter profit above analysts' estimates on Wednesday, driven by improving intermodal volumes. Intermodal shipping, which involves two or more means of transportation for goods and accounted for 14% of its overall revenue in 2024, saw a 2% rise in volume during the quarter. CSX chief executive Joe Hinrichs said on Wednesday that while uncertainty continues to impact select industrial markets, the company remained focused on completing two major infrastructure projects that will "strengthen our position to execute on many profitable growth opportunities ahead." Shares of the Jacksonville, Florida-based company rose 2% in extended trading. The railroad operator is reportedly in discussions to appoint financial advisers as it explores strategic options amid growing speculation of a potential merger with its West Coast peer BNSF Railway, owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Meanwhile, according to reports, larger rival Union Pacific is exploring a potential acquisition of Norfolk Southern, a move that could create a $200 billion coast-to-coast rail network and significantly reshape the U.S. freight industry. CSX maintains a fleet of more than 3,500 locomotives and about 51,000 freight cars, according to its website. However, any merger would be subject to approval from the Surface Transportation Board, a regulatory body that oversees railroads. On an adjusted basis, it reported a profit of 44 cents per share, above the analysts' average estimate of 42 cents per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. The company reported revenue of $3.57 billion in the quarter ended June 30, missing estimates of $3.58 billion. The company's operating margin was 35.9% for the quarter, down by 320 basis points from last year.
