BEST OF THE BAY 2019

This year, we’ve streamlined our categories for easier voting and to keep up with a changing Bay Area. Ever since Best of the Bay launched in 1974—the first “Best of” to appear in a local paper—it’s served as a snapshot of of the Bay Area, from Best Burrito and Best Bike Shop to Best Politician and Best Drag Queen (or King!).

We hope you take a minute to vote, recalling some of your favorite experiences and encounters of the past year. Voting continues through September 3, and winners will be announced in October! 

Stay tuned for a Best of the Bay party announcement. And HAPPY VOTING!
