Georgia Straight Best of Vancouver

Thanks to the Georgia Straight running their 16th Best of Vancouver awards, we have found the Yaletown businesses that have received kudos from the Straight’s many readers!

Excerpt from Georgia Straight. Best of Vancouver. September 22, 2011. http://www.straight.com/bov/2011 (accessed October 5, 2011):

It’s been months in the making, and it’s finally here: the Georgia Straight’s 16th annual Best of Vancouver issue.

For this issue, we were helped enormously by our readers, who completed more than 10,000 online ballots to tell us everything from their favourite politician to the best place to buy cheap drinks. There are over 250 readers’ choice categories, dealing with a vast number of topics.

The people have spoken. Now it’s time to enjoy the results.
