With the wicked windchill this week, we could all use a little warmth. There’s nothing more New England than escaping the bite of winter in a cozy tavern. Not much has changed since colonial days — we just crave a crackling fire, good company and great fare. Grab your coat and head to one of our favorite cozy spots in Boston for comfort and cocktails.
