Express' Best Of 2009

In the past 24 hours I think I've received at least 20 or so emails from various restaurants, bars, spas and the like in DC asking me to vote them as Best of in the Express' Best Of 2009 competition.

From now through Friday, Oct. 16, you can vote for your favorite D.C.-area people, places and things in more than 100 categories; the finalists in those categories were chosen by Express readers last month. The winners will be announced Friday, Nov. 6, in a special issue of Express.
