If you're pining after "outdoor dining pods near me" then you've come to the right place. While no one looks forward to dwindling daylight hours and sub-zero temperatures, there's no denying that winter has a lot going for it too. There's a warm, festive feeling that comes over our city, and there's no better way to celebrate the season than by grabbing your favourite people to head to one of these festive igloo pop-ups for fine food and drinks.
