The Cricket Editor Erika Brown talks with Lifestyle Editor Kris McGinn about The Mill, a new sandwich shop in Essex, MA, and how owners Josh and Caitlin Silverstein managed to survive opening one month before the Covid lockdown. Pivoting into prepared meals with a delivery option, The Mill became a meal mainstay for many Essex and Manchester residents who did not want to go to the grocery store in the first weeks and months of Covid. Quickly reacting to the needs of the community has made The Mill not only a fantastic new place to eat (Erika recommends the Banh Mi) but a thoughtful and supportive new addition to the small town of Essex as well.
