I've never been there in person but just recently experienced a fantastic event organized by them! I discovered the phenomenal chef and restauranteur, Erin French, by way of her brand new series THE LOST KITCHEN on Magnolia Network found in the Discovery+ app. AMAZING!!!
I found an online/virtual event about Erin, her memoir book with guest appearances including Ina Garten-The Barefoot Contessa!!!! It was being presented by Bank Square Books AND I also received a signed copy of the book with my online event ticket. I was in Foodie obsessed lover Heaven!!

I def plan to visit this place now and bonus because it's in Mystic, CT.....home of one of my all time favorite movies, MYSTIC PIZZA!!!!
Fantastic job Bank Square...
