Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday!

Calling all book lovers and local business supporters—this Saturday, April 26, is Independent Bookstore Day, and no better way to celebrate than by visiting Over the Tunnel Books in East Boston!
In the market for a new cookbook? We know just the spot. Below the shelves of highly curated food and drinks at EBO & Co. Grocery, you’ll find Over The Tunnel Books: a cozy bookstore and gathering space!
To find this snug book nook, head to the Meridian Street market and make your way toward the back wall, stocked with an array of wines. From there, pause to read the directions just above the stairs – and note that the maximum capacity for the space is five people.
Check out our feature on this bookshop here!
