Washington City Paper today released their "Best of DC" edition for the first time in 21 years and Ward 6 was recognized up and down the charts. New establishments on H Street, NE fared very well; Barracks Row lined up a lot of retail success; and some timeless classics in our neighborhoods were recognized. Here's a sampling of the results:

Best Councilmember, Readers Poll - Tommy Wells (1st Runner-Up)
Okay, so readers voted Jim Graham Best Councilmember, but 1st Runner-Up ain't too bad for a freshman with just over one year under his belt.

Best Dog Park - Lincoln Park
This federally controlled park isn't actually a dog park, it just looks like one. Congressional Cemetery (privately owned land that welcomes dogs off-leash) came in third place.

Best DrugStore - CVS Trailer at Waterside Mall
"It is a Utopian CVS—an eerily perfect drugstore that runs with smooth, mechanized efficiency. They’ve even packed a full pharmacy into the space. They have everything you want to buy and nothing you won’t..."

Best Off-kilter Night - Drunken Jenga at Rock & Roll Hotel
"In this boozy spin on the family classic, patrons become both bolder and shakier as the night progresses..."
