The Best of Everything on Long Island!

Hi All,

If you are like me you are happy to use lists to make life a bit easier. From food shopping lists, to-do lists, reminder lists, bird-watching lists, places visited lists and more....well, lists can be invaluable in helping you with time management! And we all know that time management means being more efficient and effective with our oh so valuable (and limited) time.

So...without further ado...I present a list of lists from the Long Island Press. Click here to see the article.

Note that the site has a list of tabs at the top of the page so viewers can click on the following headings: Arts & Entertainment, Commerce, Family, Food, Green, Health & Wellness, Not-For-Profit and Sports. (Note that each of the above links will send you to the particular topic if you click on the word...aka these are active links!) Of course you can contact the Long Island Press and vote for the 2011 Best of using this link.

So, what's so great about the site? Well, lets check the Food tab. When you click on the Food tab you come to another link that has further topics like Bagels, Bakery, Barbecue, Burger, Coffee House, Delicatessen, Hot Dogs, Ice Cream and Restaurant. (Note that these are just a random assemblage of categories within the Food tab. There are many, many more lists included - it is quite extensive and well worth your time to skim and pick and choose topics you find interesting! Happy hunting!)

These topics are where you will find the actual list of 'Best of' in the particular topic that you've chosen. Note that Long Island Press (LIP) includes only the top 3 of any particular category.

Further note: winners' contact information is included in the entry. Directions and a brief blurb about the winner are included as well.

Finally users can find similar topics on the right side of the screen when you drill down to the winner level. For example, when I chose 'Restaurants' on the right side of the screen I found 'Other Best Of Long Island Winners' in the following topics: Best Restaurant with a Water View, Best NY Islander, Best Bakery on Long Island, Best Downtown on Long Island and many more.

Essentially this acts as a way for users to find similar categories...which can be very helpful.

Enjoy the site and enjoy the Best that Long Island has to offer!
