There’s something about art that can soothe the soul and calm the mind. The great thing about a lot of art is that it can be interpreted in ways that are personal to us. Good art can be nourishing for the mind, just as good food can be nourishing for the body. In the city of Keene, there’s one restaurant where you can enjoy both for a truly immersive experience.
