The Best Stuff Around Town

We all have our opinions about the best people, places, and businesses in the Reno / Tahoe area, but the Reno News & Review takes the question to the community. With the RN&R 15th Annual Best of Northern Nevada reader poll, you can see what about 4,200 fellow residents think are the best of the best in our neck of the woods. I'm not sure of there are any print copies still floating around, but the online version has everything that was on paper.

Being that respondents are self-selecting and, by RN&R's own admission, the poll is more of a popularity contest than a scientific sampling. Even so, it's fun to see the top choices in each category and dozens of sub-categories. With so many choices, you will find some pretty off-beat stuff that could be considered characteristic of Nevada's quirkiness. For example, check out the best cheap liquor store, adult-themed store, place to get pierced, cheap motel, pawn shop, tattoo parlor, brothel, wedding chapel, place to buy playa garb (for Burning Man), strip club, casino, bowling alley, and so on. There are plenty of mainstream selections as well - restaurants with various types of food and ambience, environmental concerns, things for kids and families, goods and services, entertainment, the outdoors, and more.
