While the best of 2021 may just be the end of 2020, we were happy with the
reader replies to our 2021 “Best Of” survey during this unusual time period.
Many consistent winners continued to maintain their popularity, and other
new winners emerged. Some businesses, such as Cafe Ponte, are no longer operating,
but it surely would have won had we had a category for “Most Missed Restaurant.”
Even during the coronavirus quarantine, most of our readers continued to
experience the better things in life, if not by actually attending, but by visiting
virtually or using takeout or delivery. Everyone seemed to understand and to make
the best of a difficult time. Therefore, our winning individuals, companies and other
institutions and organizations will help you to discover what is outstanding in our
community. These trustworthy endorsements have proven to be accurate over
the years. You may not agree with the choices, but most of our readers do,
so try them again and you may find that you agree with our voters.
