Best of Detroit 2012

Who cares what you think? We do. That’s why, year after year, we ask you, the readers of Metro Times, what’s tops. Thankfully, year after year, our readers surprise us with more than 1,000 responses, telling us exactly where to go and what to do when we’re looking for the best. And though the Best of Detroit quiz often results in a few stubborn winners, the results can often be surprising, illuminating, even hilarious. Sure, the poll is longer than it has been in years past, but it’s only because we want to give you every opportunity to share every bit of awesomeness in a region that encompasses 1,200 square miles, four counties, and more than 3 million people. And, in all fairness, you don’t have to answer every single question to submit, just a bare minimum in each category. So what are you waiting for? Sharing your opinions has never been easier. Whether you take five minutes to check off some obvious favorites or spend an hour giving us the detailed dope, we’ll comb over your responses and come up with true winners. And, don’t forget the bonus question at the end: The funniest responses will earn you a ticket to our Best of Detroit bash this April. Go ahead. Give it to us straight.
