Who said fresh air fare had to halt for the winter? Hardy New Englanders can huddle at these restaurants with heated patios and creative “après ski” setups to keep the outdoorsy vibe alive — even with lower temperatures.

The Bowery Bar, 2261 Dorchester Ave.
Get your camping fix this winter by reserving a dine-in yurt atop the Bowery Bar. Warm up with comfort dishes like beer-battered fish ‘n’ chips or rigatoni alfredo with Cajun blackened chicken. If you stop by for brunch, don’t miss the cocktail menu — named “Hangover Cures 101" — which offers treats like the “adult iced coffee” with vanilla vodka, hazelnut liquor, iced coffee + whipped cream.

Lookout Rooftop at the Envoy Hotel, 70 Sleeper St.
Home to the most coveted heated igloos in the city, Lookout Rooftop also offers fire pit seating and enclosed ice boxes that overlook the the Seaport. Igloos have room for up to six people, while ice boxes can accommodate parties of eight or less. Be sure to reserve your retreat in advance.

Over the Charles, 400 Soldiers Field Rd.
Perched on the 16th floor of the DoubleTree Suites, this rooftop igloo bar offers heated sanctuaries for up to eight people. While a la carte dining is on the table, guests can also choose from family-style dining that offers supersized portions of grilled lamb porterhouse, lobster mac and cheese, and potato + mushroom ragu, among other toasty dishes.

Three people enjoy glasses and green cans of beer while sitting around a rectangular-shaped fire pit at Remnant's Bow Market taproom.

Fire pits at Remnant Brewing’s Somerville location are first-come, first-served, but can also be reserved for special occasions.

As we salute Bill Belichick’s departure from the Patriots, we asked our followers: What’s your favorite game that he coached over his 24 year run? Here’s what you had to say:

“2019 AFC championship game in Kansas City.” — @bacon_von_bacon

“Comeback against the Falcons 2017 hands down.” — @openike422

“Patriots vs Colts in the snow . . .2003 AFC championship game. I’ve got a picture of Rodney picking Manning in the end zone, snow coming down and everyone getting muddy.” — @brianizaloozer1234

Bonus: Get ready to officially welcome the Pats’ new head coach Jerod Mayo tomorrow at a noon press conference.
