Great cities are built on great local businesses—and the people who support them.
BestOfThe.City is a community-driven platform that brings people together to celebrate the businesses that make their city special. Through local discovery, community participation, and city-focused campaigns, we help shine a spotlight on the places people love—and introduce new people to local businesses along the way.
If you’re proud of your city, you’re in the right place.
Community Energy Meets Local Discovery
At the heart of BestOfThe.City is community participation through voting events. These voting periods are designed to create excitement, spark conversation, and encourage people to actively support their favorite local businesses.
For the community, voting is a way to:
- Share favorite spots with friends and neighbors
- Discover new businesses recommended by locals
- Take part in something fun that highlights city pride
For businesses, voting acts as a powerful form of local referral:
- Customers invite others to vote and discover the business
- New audiences are introduced through community sharing
- Winners of each voting cycle get to proudly display their accomplishment as Best Of The City, building credibility and recognition
- Momentum builds during each voting period, not just for one business—but across the entire city
Each voting event becomes a reason for people to explore, talk about, and support local businesses together.
Discover the Best, Locally
BestOfThe.City makes it easy to explore standout local businesses by city and category, helping residents and visitors find trusted favorites and hidden gems alike.
Every city has its own character, culture, and champions. Our platform is built to reflect that—keeping discovery local, relevant, and community-driven.
We focus on:
- City-based discovery
- Easy-to-browse categories
- Up-to-date business listings
- Engagement that brings people together
Built for Local Businesses
For business owners, BestOfThe.City is more than a listing—it’s a way to turn community support into real visibility.
Businesses can:
- Claim and manage their listings
- Share their story and what makes them unique
- Gain exposure during active voting events
- Reach new customers through community-driven referrals
- Display the Best Of The City badge when they win, signaling local excellence
- Explore featured and promoted opportunities
Our goal is to help local businesses grow by tapping into the power of their own community.
Growing City by City
We’re building BestOfThe.City one city at a time, giving each community its own spotlight and moments of celebration. By rolling out voting events throughout the year, we create recurring opportunities for businesses to be discovered and for communities to come together around what they love most.
Each city gets its moment. Each business gets a chance to shine.

And when voting opens, help decide what truly earns the title of Best Of The City.
