AOL Names Best Of's

We must have blinked and missed the two months of voting that went into selecting the 2007 AOL cityguide Best Of list winners. Starting in mid-November and wrapping up in mid-January, voting took place on line on the set of contenders who had been nominated by AOL cityguide for their best of rating – opportunity for there to have been a little pandering to sponsors, but we'll never know.

The categories seem endless: 24 categories in Best Dining, 14 categories in Best Nightlife – and a top ten in each. It tallies to a short list of 380 places around the hub to find the best of this or the best of that. Some things aren't surprising, like Legal taking home the prize for Best Chowder, you can take it in at any of their many locations. This, being just a few days after Valentine's day the lonely hearts are looking for the best single scene – according to AOL cityguide they'll find it at the number one spot Felt, or the number two seat WaterWorks. For some reason that category doesn’t seem to be fairly rated. Perhaps we're just looking to find fault in the little things they've got wrong. Llistling Lucky's as "Hip Rat Pack salute on Four Point Channel" for one – it's Fort Point, and we'll forgive you this time, AOL.
