This week’s issue is all about celebration! You voted for your favorite pizza place and theater company. We counted the votes and now present you with the reader favorites in the Best of 2026! And now we all have a new list of places to shop, hang, hike, go for art of all kinds and find eats ranging from a snack to a fine dining dinner. Looking for a bar for live music or a place to get some ice cream? Let Hippo readers tell you their favorites.
