WINNERS! F
or two decades, readers have relied on the INDY’s Best of the Triangle awards to help them navigate important decisions about how to spend their time, where they spend their money, and—perhaps most importantly—what to eat and drink. INDY stalwarts will note that, once again, we’re rolling out winners from our highly anticipated reader poll one county at a time. First up, we’re sharing winners for all categories in Wake County, with Durham and Orange counties to follow. From the best restaurants, to yoga studios and hair salons, to museums, and preschools, we’ve got you covered with readers’ top picks. This year’s Wake County winners, as determined by our readers, have something for everyone—a greatest hits of food, bookstores, concert venues, parks, local causes and more. We hope you’ll take a look and check out some of the places, people and activities that make the community unique. In the meantime, thank you for nominating all your favorites, and congratulations to all of the finalists in Wake, who will receive our coveted star decal and a poster to display. Stay tuned for Durham and Orange County winners throughout the year and, in December, a special print edition rounding up the best of the best across the Triangle.
