We have until April 15 to take the Indyweek.com poll for "Best Of" in the Triangle (
http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/poll). I haven't been here long enough to answer a lot of them. In some cases I've only visited one or two places in a particular category, and I don't know that this qualifies me to give an educated opinion. Nevertheless, I've included just a few answers...
You have to answer at least 25 of the 122 for your poll to count. I have only 13 so far. I'm accepting bribes for voting in all categories. :-D
What are your choices?
