LOCALS CHOICE WINNERS

Your choice — the Locals Choice W

hat you’re holding here is the collected wisdom of 2,704 people who cast over 72,000 votes for their favorite shops, restaurants, service providers, parks, entertainment venues and more in the Suffolk News-Herald’s Locals Choice Awards program.

What you’re not holding are the results of a scientific study. These results represent people’s opinions, expressed through online voting late this summer. You’ll probably disagree with some of the results, you will be surprised by some and there are some you’re likely to cheer.

The best way to show your favorite businesses your support, of course, is to continue giving them your business.

After that, you can recommend your friends give them a shot, too.

Meanwhile, have a little fun learning who got top marks in this year's Locals Choice Awards program. Enjoy the surprises and recognize the customer engagement it took for anybody to come out on top in this contest.

We hope the results remind you to visit an old favorite you may not have been to in a while. Maybe you can also try something you see that will become a new favorite, too.
