Best of the Berkshires
Best of the Berkshires
Remember the Bekshires in
1997? Bob Dylan and Ani DiFranco were playing Tanglewood;
cell phones worked in two square
feet of the county; at Tripod, in the
old cable mill building, a group of
Williams alums were generating
the closest thing to Facebook that
then existed — and Best of the
Berkshires came into the light.
Two hundred readers responded
to our first poll. Fifteen years later,
in this contest alone, you have sent
in 17,334 ballots. You cut them
out of spring Eagle newspapers
and filled in their answers by
hand, and we collected them by
the boxful — one per reader.
Here, then, are the places that
earned the most votes, from the
people who took the time to tell
us what they enjoy. If you are on
this list, we congratulate you
heartily. And if you are not, we
hope you will get in touch — tell
us about what you do — so that

we and our readers can find you.
So thank you to every reader who
took the time to answer — thank
you to the Eagle ad staff for coordinating the contest — thank you
(with garlands of roses) to Emerald
Lapier from the Transcript, who
took the time to count the respons-
es — and thank you to everyone
who takes the risk, and works the
long hours, to fill this county with
all the vintage glass and drill bits,
riding stables and roofers, cafés
and crafts and all the rest that make
“the best” so hard to choose.

of the commitment of our teammates like helpful butchers who will
custom cut your favorite fresh meat
just the way you like it. Or the
seafood professionals who guide you
in choosing fresh fish and seafood
for your family. Count on our artisan
bakers and their sumptuous array of
breads, cakes, pies and more and the
deli mavens and prepared food chefs
who do the cooking so you don’t
have to. Visit our bright and colorful
produce department featuring the
freshest fruits and vegetables from
around the world and around the
corner. Add in our Central Market
Florist certified designers and their
wonderland of fresh flowers, plants
and floral arrangements and you
have the best in fresh!
That’s Price Chopper Value.
