Welcome to the 2008 Best of Gay South Florida awards. After weeks of voting and thousands of entries, we have compiled the list of winners in four categories. “Day Life” is the most general category, as it includes personal endeavors like shopping and spas and such, as well as community organizations and charities. “Night Life” centers mainly on bars and clubs, as well as the people who make the South Florida scene extra-special. “Sex Life” highlights our voters’ favorite naughty pursuits, awarding the places where it feels so good to be bad. And then “Food” should be self-explanatory, with awards going to favorite restaurants.
These awards are based off votes that were compiled on our web site, www.southfloridablade.com. Of course, the businesses, organizations, and people receiving awards are not necessarily “gay” themselves; their recognition merely reflects their popularity within the GLBT community.
We split many of the categories into “North” and “South,” reflecting the localized preferences of the Miami and Broward communities; but in other categories, there were clear winners, regardless of where the voters happened to live.
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all for supporting the South Florida GLBT community.
