Best of Alameda 2006

Winter, spring, summer and fall-there's always something worth celebrating in Alameda.
That's why we, the editors of Alameda Magazine, decided to take a peek at the Island throughout the year to highlight some of our favorite things, from festivals and hometown phenomena to food and drink. Coming up with this short list of seasonal bests in our own quirky categories was a cinch, because every time of year has some defining element that shouts Alameda!
Our Best Of list purposefully spans the year: Christmas, New Year's, romance, St. Paddy's Day, Cinco de Mayo, antique shopping, patriotism, summer fun, whatnots, Oktoberfest, Skippy peanut butter and the Raiders-they all play a part. What defines each season in Alameda for you?
Since 2004, our Best Of coverage has focused on what you, the readers, say is the Best of Alameda. And so we wouldn't dare complete our Best Of package without publishing the results or our annual readers' poll. Is your favorite chef still No. 1? Which restaurant has a wine list that's unsurpassed? Where's the best storefront window display? And what's the best reason to live in Alameda?
Start flipping the pages to find out what we think and what readers say in 65 Best Of categories.
