There is a particularly positive feeling that comes with doing business with a service provider, merchant, restaurant or home to good times whose owners and employees you know. Over time, you develop rapport and relationships of trust with those folks who recognize you, recall the last time you visited and look forward to seeing you again soon. Patronizing such businesses, you know that the money you spend will remain in circulation in our community. Annually, Tallahassee Magazine conducts a poll that gives readers a chance to register support for businesses that they value and would recommend to others. We are pleased to present the Best of Tallahassee 2023 winners.
