4. Outdoor Dining (Yes, you read that correctly.)
With temperatures dropping and the sun setting before you leave the office, getting a healthy dose of outdoor time is difficult - but not impossible. The Barking Crab, Envoy Lookout, and Deck 12 at Yotel remain open-air all season long thanks to unique heating infrastructure and technology. Pretty cool.
