Soulards
Fireplaces? Really? Although I observed yesterday that 53 degrees was enough reason to break out those God-awful Ed Hardy tees, it felt like 50-below last weekend when I started assembling the list that follows. The exercise was prompted by Dan Badock of Soulard's Restaurant, who had just reminded me that Soulard's renovation -- of everything but the real wood fireplace -- is now complete.

I know I've omitted many places with fireplaces (and I swear I really do venture North), so feel free to comment on any I missed. In the meantime, here are 50 hot spots to get you started. -- George Mahe
