Cold has never stopped Bostonians from doing anything. We still drink our iced coffee, we still yell out open windows at oncoming traffic, and we still want to eat dinner outside. Luckily there are lots of restaurants in Boston where you can cozy up under a heat lamp, gather in an igloo, or warm up next to a fire pit and enjoy outdoor dining all winter long. Prefer to stay indoors? Check out these festive bars and restaurants decked out for the holiday season.
