What lunch spots are impressive enough to show off to out-of-towners? How about the fine dining restaurants worthy of a birthday dinner? What local places belong on the itinerary for a staycation?
This is what we imagine when we think of the “best”—and each year, we give readers the chance to rewrite and redefine our guide to the 225 region’s most top-notch restaurants, bars, people and businesses.
The Best of 225 Awards are selected 100% by Capital Region residents in a two-part nomination and voting process. Each year, more and more of you turn up to our website to crown your picks. These are your favorites, your go-to’s, your ride-or-dies—a big congrats to the 2023 champions.
