Just because shorts season is over doesn’t mean patio season is too. Several restaurants have outfitted their outdoor areas with fire pits, heaters, and blankets to maximize seating throughout the winter. From hot cocoa bars to complimentary s’mores kits, here are four classy places to stave off the cold with hot food and drinks.
