Here Are The Winners of Your Choice Awards

By Staff

Earlier this year, we asked you, our readers, to vote for your favorite restaurants, people, hangouts, charities, and more — from the best burgers and desserts to the top guesthouse, business, and realtor. 

After receiving over 25,000 votes across more than 100 categories, we’re excited to announce the winners! 

The process started with your nominations, narrowing each category to the top five finalists. Then, the finals kicked off, and you had the chance to crown the best of the best. This year, the contest has once again highlighted favorites across Palm Beach County, Miami-Dade, and Key West. 

While Broward County and Wilton Manors are at the heart of our coverage, we’re proud to showcase LGBTQ-friendly establishments throughout South Florida, offering a broader celebration of our community’s favorites. 

Remember, these are your choices, not ours. Don’t agree with the results? Make sure your voice is heard in next year’s contest!

A special thank you to Grieco Ford for sponsoring this year’s contest and to everyone who participated in making it a success. Without further ado, let’s dive into the 2024 winners!

The organization has evolved since its inception five years ago, offering services like mental health counseling, therapy and educational tutoring.

Friday's Furry Friend

Cedric (ID 691355) is absolutely a great dog! He came to the Humane Society of Broward County from the county facility, so his past is a mystery. Staff and volunteers have worked with this 2-year-old cutie and say he walks well on leash, he is HIGHLY treat-motivated, he knows "sit," and he enjoys spending his time being next to you and getting pet. After Cedric gets some energy out, he likes to cuddle, and he would benefit from a family who can devote time to him. Since it is unknown how he is with other dogs, a meet and greet is recommended. Thanks to #9 Sam Bennett of the Florida Panthers and his Benny’s Buddies program, Cedric’s adoption fee has been paid for. Every time Sam scores a goal, another shelter pet benefits.
