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 bakery, favorite pharmacy, favorite dry cleaner, favorite nail salon, favorite caterer, even favorite restaurant by ethnic type, and so many others. There were 134 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.

Leah Dunaief 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 2021. 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.

Traditionally we have followed the publication of the winners with a fun party. We still would like to do that, but given Covid, we are not sure when that will be. We have worked hard since the middle of March, 2020, to minimize the possibility of contagion around anything we do.

We even closed our offices to the public and admit visitors by appointment only and only one or two at a time. Even though it looks now like the coronavirus may finally be receding (knock on wood), our offices are still closed and we have not yet rescheduled any of our favorite events.

So we hope to offer you a party and a grand get together, to properly celebrate the winners of the Readers’ Choice as soon as it appears safe to do so.

We will look forward to that time and will let everyone know where and when to rub elbows with their favorite providers.

Meanwhile, hearty congratulations to the winners of 2021! You are obviously doing something right to so please your customers that they took the time to fill in your names and then sent the questionnaires back to us.

We, too, put in a considerable effort to amass the information and present it here to you, our readers.

Thank you to all who participated in the contest. We are contacting the winners of the drawing and will run the results in two weeks in the Part II Arts & Lifestyles section of the newspapers as well as post them on our website, TBRnewsmedia.com.

We hope you will share in the success of these winners and will find this section a valuable guide for your future needs.

We salute the winners & nominees and their appreciative customers!

Everyone Is A Winner

By Michael Ardolino

I’m proud to sponsor TBR Readers’ Choice supplement and honored to be part of a publication highlighting the exceptional businesses along the North Shore.

The winners and nominees have every reason to feel good about themselves. TBR News Media readers thought highly enough about them to make sure their businesses were recognized among these pages.

There are no winners or losers when you think about it.

While many clicked on the news outlet’s website to fill out the form, others tore out the page from the newspaper, filled it out and found an envelope and stamp to mail it in. They took time out of their busy lives, and that’s a huge compliment. For every

person who feels a business is the best in the region, there are most likely a hundred more who think the same.

Our business owners and their employees enrich our communities every day with their contributions and add to the numerous reasons why the North Shore is such a wonderful place to live. Nonprofits also play a vital role by sharing our local history and providing venues for the arts and music. Stony Brook Medicine/Stony Brook University is a major employer in our area. SBU was recently designated a flagship public university by the state, and rightfully so. The school offers an excellent educational program and enriches the local cultural scene with its offerings at the Staller Center.

Countless businesses also support community events by sponsoring activities or contributing to local fundraisers by donating gift cards and baskets. They add something meaningful.

Let’s remember, too, the vital part that our local businesses play in employing residents. How many high school students

are working in our restaurants, coffee shops and stores, earning money for their first car or a trip they have been dreaming about since they were little kids. Think of all the people, who when you go into a store, you seek them out for their knowledge or enjoy talking to them and sharing stories about life.

I think it’s wonderful that TBR News Media highlights local businesses as owners work tirelessly to serve their customers.

After a challenging two years where many had to scramble and adapt, the recognition is well-deserved and appreciated.

TBR is also providing a service to readers with a supplement that offers a guide for people to find some of the best spots in our area. With spring around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get out and try something new.

To all the businesses that won and were nominated, I congratulate you. And to TBR News Media, I’m grateful for the opportunity to help you spread the word about all the fantastic businesses in our area.
