“It feels like summer,” duo Cassie and Mandy told 660 NEWS. “We just finished eating and we’re going to have a few more drinks in the sun.”
“We’re hear to enjoy the 14 degree weather,” Sean said. “We’re having some beers on the patio. It’s been amazing. In February, you always expect snow. To see a full patio is insane.”
