Introducing Best of Milton 2026

Something new this summer, and it's yours to decide.

We're launching Best of Milton 2026, the first annual, reader-voted awards for the best of our town. Best pizza. Best coffee. Best patio for a Friday night. Best park, best hair salon, best vet. Twenty-nine categories across three sections (Eat & Drink, Out & About, Shops & Services), and every single winner chosen by you.

Here's the part we want to be straight about: The Roundabout doesn't review restaurants, so we're never going to tell you the best pizza in Milton. That's not our call to make. So we're not making it. You are. We count the votes and report what Milton said. When we crown a winner, it means "Milton residents voted this the best," because that's exactly what happened.

How it works, in two rounds:

Round 1 — Nominate (Tuesday, July 14 through Monday, July 27). Write in your favorite in any category you care about, one at a time or all twenty-nine. Skip the rest. It's your ballot.

Round 2 — Vote (July 29 through August 10). We tally the write-ins, the top names in each category become finalists, and you pick the winners.

The reveal — Sunday, August 16. A special edition with every category's Readers' Pick, plus a few honorable mentions worth knowing about.

Neighbors only. Every ballot is verified by email: one person, one vote, no bots, no out-of-towners, no ballot-stuffing. This is Milton picking Milton's best, and we're keeping it that way.

What to do right now: almost nothing. The ballot opens Tuesday, July 14, and as a subscriber it will land in your inbox that morning. Want a nudge the minute it goes live? Tap yourself in on the Best of Milton page. And if you know a Milton friend with strong opinions about the best tacos in town, forward this. They'll want in.
