February in Pennsylvania has a way of making us all crave a little extra warmth. There is a certain kind of magic in a winter evening spent gathered around a fire with a great meal and even better company.

During times like now, in the middle of winter, we find ourselves gravitating toward the cozy corners of our community. There’s nothing better than finding a local spot that feels like an escape from the cold. That’s why we’ve pulled together a list of our favorite Chester County places to slow down and defrost.
