There are no blue ribbons inside these pages. Being the best is less about a tangible meaning, and more about a personal perspective that differs from one person to the next. What one person might call the best, another may feel is the worst— and still another may have never heard of. What you are about to see inside these pages is not meant to be a ranking or a contest. No team of experts got together to unequivocally state one restaurant, park or person better than another. We all have personal favorites, and for all of us there are places that we will see inside these pages that we never knew existed. Which is good, because that’s what this issue is all about. Don’t read this looking for your favorite place (although it is in here somewhere), but rather to learn a thing or two about what your neighbors down the street or across the borough have to say.
