Best Businesses on Suffolk’s North Shore Final Contest Results December 12, 2019 tbrnewsmedia.com 631.751.7744
S2 • 2019 TBR READERS’ CHOICE WINNERS • DECEMBER 12, 2019
A Victory for Best Businesses and Services & For Shopping Locally
From the Publisher
At last! The results are in and tabulated, all 2500 plus. Readers from throughout our coverage area took the time to fill in the blanks and send in their choice of favorite b a k e r y, favorite pharmacy, Leah Dunaief favorite dry cleaner, favorite nail salon, favorite caterer, even favorite restaurant by ethnic type, and so many others. There were 106 categories and a few people nominated a business in each one, so we have to assume that in addition to making known the businesses they were passionate about, those we heard from thought the process was fun. Now come the rewards. With this issue, we offer the list of winners—a meaningful vote for some of the best businesses on Suffolk’s north shore for 2019. Let me emphasize that the nominations came exclusively from the readers, who are the customers of these businesses and services, and hence the most objective voters. They have first hand experience with their choices. What bragging rights that offers for those winning businesses and professionals! It gives them a chance to directly thank their customers and to explain what gives them the edge over their competition. Some of them have taken ad space in these pages
to do just that. And we in turn thank them for enabling us to bring this list to our residents. In addition, we will have a drawing for three gift certificates, for $100, $50 & $25, determined by a blind selection from the submissions, for the readers to use in the winning stores or offices. Then we will have a party! On Wednesday, February 5 at The Three Village Inn from 6-8 p.m., we will have a reception to celebrate the winners. There we will have a red carpet for them to walk up to the podium and speak for one (strictly observed) minute about their business or service. While they are speaking we will video them. Then we will hand each of them a framed certificate proclaiming them the 2019 winner and take their photograph as they accept. The video will run on the home page of our website for the ensuing two months in a preferred space, and photos will be included in the newspapers and on the internet. Supper will be provided. Tickets are $60. Attendance at the reception will be open to the family and friends of the winners, those who sent in their votes for the winners and any members of the community who would like to hobnob with winners. Tickets will be available after the first of the year on our website, from our offices and through the mail. All seats must be reserved. We salute the winners and their appreciative customers!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for being nominated as the best of the North Shore Readers Choice for delicatessens. I’ve had the pleasure of serving this community for over 25 years. The people here have been very welcoming since the day I opened my doors. I know without your patronage my deli wouldn’t be as successful as it is today. So thank you for this award and I look forward to serving the community for many years to come!
