It’s safe to say that it’s been pretty cold outside lately. Unless you are willing to bundle up and brave the cold, we suggest staying inside and keeping warm! Here are all the activities you can do to avoid the cold and enjoy the indoors.
Sit by the Fire
There are plenty of local restaurants with fireplaces to warm up to. Braddock’s Tavern in Medford will warm you up in no time while also supplying you with delicious food. Appetizers and drink specials run from 3pm to 6pm Monday through Friday.
Rat’s Restaurant in Hamilton offers a lounge with a fireplace as well as plenty of outside attractions at Grounds for Sculpture. They offer indoor activities, too, like their Winter Wellness event where you learn the practice of Tai Chi. Afterwards, warm up at Rat’s.
Eat and Drink
