  • The Best of Cleveland is here

After 18 miserable and trying months, it's our absolute privilege to publish this year's Best of Cleveland winners.

Not only is it the one issue of the year where you, the readers of Cleveland, get to have your say instead of listening to us prattle on, it's an issue that's all about positivity.

Tens of thousands of you took the time to nominate finalists and select the winners this year, the plum-perfect people, places and things that the city of Cleveland should be celebrating at this moment.

Many of them are first-time winners, which is great to see, while others have graced this issue before, which, after losing so many landmark businesses in the past year, is worthy of celebration as well.

Thank you, as always, for voting and supporting your city.

Without further ado, the winners are...
