Til the end of the month voting is open for the North Shore Magazine’s BONS Awards in many different local categories.
Just as I would only have you vote for GMG for best Blog if you thought we are truly worthy I would suggest you vote for some of our other locals which in my mind are worthy of votes. you can click on any of the highlighted links to go to that voting page for that category. If you don’t see your favorite you can nominate them anyway.
We have three local Bakeries under the bread category which I could make a case for any one of them- Sclafanis, Virgilios and Alexandra’s Bread Co.
Then there is the Bakery sweets category in which you could make a case for Nichols or Turtle Alley.
We have a bunch of different restaurants which in my mind are as good as you’ll find anywhere on the planet.
There are places you might get your lobsters or seafood to consider voting for.
There is the greatest brewery on the planet right here in Gloucester Cape Ann Brewing which deserves your vote IMO.
The Best BARBQUE. I mean is anyone in their right mind going to argue with Smokin Jims under the best BarBQue? Please!
Coffee Shop– Lone Gull, Pleasant Street, Cape Ann Coffee Take your pick.
Farmer’s Market– Cape Ann Farmer’s Market by a landslide.
Mexican– If Tacos Lupita doesn’t take this home there should be an investigation- huge portions, fresh, cheap prices.
Pizza– My favorite is Sebastians but I know there are a lot of Delaney’s, Captain Hooks and Maria’s fans out there.
Sushi– Lat 43
Romantic- The Rudder comes to mind as the most in the summer.
General Excellence– Helloooo Duckworth’s Bistro
Al Fresco Dining– If there’s a more beautiful view than that of the Lobster Pool in Rockport at sunset I haven’t seen it. Bonus points for being able to brown bag your beer and wine.
Arts and Crafts– Duh social media savvy and always open Coveted Yarn
Again I stress only vote for folks you think deserve to win. There are many more worthy local businesses but as I’m completely slammed here at work on Memorial day weekend forgive me if I left out some important ones as I’m just trying to remind folks to vote for their favorites..
Good Morning Gloucester
