2007 Best Of the Best

There are the good, the better, and then there are the best. But we don’t just stop there…we present to you the Best Of the Best (BOB) for 2007. These are the people, places, and things that make Charlotte a great city.

The editorial staff brainstormed, researched, reported, shopped, ate, and clubbed, all to find the best—and we had fun doing it. Over the next twenty-five-plus pages, enjoy our picks for Best Of the Best—166 winners—our largest yet! We also feature the readers’ BOBs you voted on. From the best restaurant for vegetarians and store for vintage shoppers to an eight-year-old wise guy and a twenty-year-old model on the rise (the babe on our cover), it doesn’t get any better than this!
