Welcome to Novel & Nosh
Novel & Nosh is a cozy, seasonal gathering space for women who want to experience more of life away from constant input, urgency, and being perpetually plugged in.

Guided by creativity, warmth, and the rhythms of the seasons, Novel & Nosh encourages a way of living that feels present, human, and deeply your own.
