The Washington Post Express is conducting a Best of 2016 survey, and a number of local bars and stores are on the list. The selections were determined by WaPo staff so there are some notable businesses absent from their list. I'm sure our local places would love to have your vote (I put my recommendations in parentheses). I know I'm voting for all the Petworth and Park View places because... Petworth News.
