CLICK HERE to take the 2013 Best of Rochester Final Ballot!

During the month of August THOUSANDS of Rochesterians took the Best of Rochester 2013 Primary Ballot. They told us their picks for the best people, places, and things in Rochester. We counted them up, got the Top 4 in each category, and that's what you'll find in the Best of Rochester 2013 Final Ballot.

(NOTE: The Top 4 in each category -- five in case of a tie -- were determined solely by reader votes; City Newspaper had absolutely no say in what makes the Final Ballot.)

VOTE NOW in the Final Ballot (make sure to vote in at least 40 categories for your ballot to count); voting will continue through Friday, October 18, at 5 p.m.

Then check back on Wednesday, October 30, for City Newspaper's annual Best of Rochester 2013 to find out who will finally be named this year's Best of Rochester!
