We have a few new categories this year, but our goal remains the same. Our annual Favorite Things issue sets out to discover the elements that comprise our region's sense of place, as told by the people who call it home. Our readers share a bone-deep understanding that we live somewhere that is like nowhere else. It's a place richly infused with an exotic blend of riveting history, arresting architecture, acclaimed music, coveted cuisine, and people imbued with a welcoming spirit.

Meanwhile, browse the results of our 2010 Favorite Things survey using the links below. They reflect not only the most votes in each category ("the winners"), but also a wide variety of treasures large and small, famous and secret, well-known and off-the-beaten-path.
