Style Magazine November 2020 RGBR
In this issue’s Readers’ Choice Awards, we give over 500 businesses a reason to pop a bottle of bubbly. Voted the “Best of 2020” by more than 130,000 locals, each winner—be it a bookstore, brewery, bike shop, restaurant, or real estate agent—is a cornerstone of our community and the crème de la crème in their respective industry. Read about all the prized people and places starting on page 35, and then go and support them! They need your patronage now more than ever. We also share a special “Editor’s Picks” portion where you’ll find some fun, off-the-beaten ballot categories, like “Best Binge-Worthy Show” (no spoilers here, but I highly recommend streaming it stat) and “Best Woman-Owned Business.” If you’re new to the area and happen to be on the hunt for a mental health professional, personal trainer, or other expert, it serves as a perfect place to find a trusted favorite. In need of some new recipes? Turn to Taste on page 52 for 5 simple sides that are easy on the eyes and even easier to make. Submitted by beloved eateries, each dish is guaranteed to have your guests going back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!). There’s plenty more uplifting, articles in the pages that follow—from social media stars who live locally (“Almost Famous,” page 16), to a picture-perfect hike in Pilot Hill (page 32), and a spotlight on area organizations fighting food insecurity (“Hunger Hits Home,” page 20)—so shift your attitude to one of gratitude and see where it takes you. Cheers! — Megan // megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle
