Style Magazine Folsom El Dorado Hills: October 2019
Fifteen years ago, we produced our first Readers’ Choice Awards issue, which was the community’s opportunity to vote on who they believe is the best. It is the single most read and referenced issue we produce each year and we owe a very special group of people special thanks for making this issue happen–you, our readers! Thousands of readers cast more than 120,000 votes for local businesses and organizations this year. It’s hard to believe how much this contest has grown and how much it means to the winners and to the readers who source this issue (both in print and online) when making all types of buying decisions every day. We are proud to say that our Readers’ Choice Awards is the largest awards contest of its type in the Sacramento region. What’s most important to our readers is knowing their votes count, we don’t choose winners because they are advertisers. We don’t choose the winners at all. This is truly a contest voted on by the readers alone. We want to take this opportunity to let you know how much we appreciate your readership and support of STYLE. And for all the winners who chose to say “thank you” for voting for them by placing an ad in our special section, well, we very much thank you, too! Congrats to each and every one of you! — All the Best, Terry Carroll & Wendy Sipple Publishers

Plaka<br />
Nafplio<br />
architectural wonders that make the<br />
metropolis so special.<br />
Dinner with the locals<br />
Avoid the tourist traps that try to lure you<br />
in with their faux food in glass-enclosed<br />
cases and go where the locals go. Vezene,<br />
a Greek-inspired, Michelin Plate bistro, is<br />
sited in a cozy, sophisticated setting, and<br />
dishes out family-style plates that may<br />
include aged beef tartare “pastistio” style;<br />
wood-fired pies with eclectic toppings<br />
like cherry-smoked baby lamb; and<br />
aged meats that melt in your mouth.<br />
For those who appreciate a good pun<br />
(and wholesome, high-quality comfort<br />
food), Nice n Easy is a must. From “The<br />
Paul Newman” (a Caesar salad with a<br />
Mediterranean twist) to “The Marvin Gaye”<br />
(minced buffalo meatballs with yogurt<br />
and mint) and “The Marlon Brando”<br />
(organic beef burger with cheddar,<br />
caramelized onions, coleslaw, and pickles<br />
on brioche), it’s a taste of Hollywood in<br />
one of Athen’s most high-end ‘hoods.<br />
NAFPLIO<br />
The stunning seaport village of Nafplio,<br />
the original capital of Greece and thought<br />
to be one of the country’s most romantic<br />
destinations, is located just under two<br />
hours from Athens on the Peloponnese<br />
peninsula and offers idyllic scenery with<br />
easy access to renowned ruins. Often<br />
3sixty Hotel and Suites<br />
dubbed the “Naples of the East,” expect a<br />
stunning coastline dotted with waterfront<br />
cafés, unforgettable fortresses (including<br />
Palamidi, which towers 999 steps above<br />
the city), and narrow, cobblestone-studded<br />
alleyways brimming with blooming<br />
bougainvillea.<br />
STAY<br />
For an intimate boutique inn that<br />
exudes elegance:<br />
3sixty Hotel and Suites is a refurbished<br />
neoclassical house from the 19th century<br />
that holds tight to its past but has been<br />
updated with all the amenities you’d<br />
expect from a present-day property.<br />
A stately spiral staircase serves as the<br />
