    Oh, baby, it's cold outside. And the forecast is not improving.

    Here are some places in town where you can take shelter and warm up yourself by a fire.

    The Richmond Arms used to have a fire burning in winter. Nice thing about it is that it's open on both sides of the wall.

    Thanks, Brazos. That's a good one.

    Not sure about the other La Madeleine's, but the one in Town & Country (on the Beltway feeder just south of I-10) has two toasty indoor fireplaces with tables close by.

    Next Door on Memorial (next door to Hungry's)used to have a big outdoor fire, I think they still do!

    Most Cracker Barrels have a huge fireplace; the Memorial City Mall has a huge one near the ice rink.

    In the Clear Lake area: Panera Bread at Bay Area and Saltgrass on the Gulf Frwy. This may be true of all locations, I'm not sure.
