Have a favorite business in the Capital Region?
Show them your love and vote in the 2027 Bestie Awards!
With more than 200 categories spanning from coffee and cookies to law firm and landscaper, the Capital Region’s longest running “best of” awards are back! When you vote in the Besties, you aren’t just selecting from a drop-down menu of preselected options. You’re actually writing in your vote—with no input from the CRL team given.
We then compile the votes and divide them into two categories: People & Places and Food & Drink. Pick up a copy of the People & Places issue in March 2027, and the Food & Drink issue in May 2027!
