Best Of Somerville via Boston Magazine

Boston Magazine recently released its annual Best Of Boston 2012 issue, honoring several Somerville businesses in various categories. I was pleased to see the magazine recognize neighborhoods all over town, not just in the usual hot spots (though I think there are always more small squares and businesses that deserve to be honored). Congratulations to all of the Somerville businesses that were featured!
