"During the winter months, Emery’s in 12 South covers up its patio and cranks up the heaters to stave off the chill. Also raising the temps: its wood-fired oven that churns out perfectly blistered pies topped with prosciutto or spicy sausage, veggies, and accompaniments to its ribeye steak. Add a glass of wine or a 32-ounce cocktail carafe during brunch." - Clara Wang, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
