he often-imitated but never duplicated Best of the Triangle awards are back. For two decades, readers have relied on the INDY’s Best of the Triangle readers’ poll 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. Here we’re sharing the winners in Orange and Chatham counties—a who’s who of the area’s best restaurants, pet care businesses, shops, recreational activities, and more. Whether you’re trying to find the best wings, a new dentist, your next art gallery visit, or a local cause you can get behind, we’ve got you covered with our readers’ top picks. 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 to our readers for nominating your favorites—we couldn’t pull off Best of the Triangle without you! And congratulations to all of the finalists in Orange and Chatham, who will receive our coveted star decal and a poster to display.
