INDY readers have a tremendous power: To bestow coveted Best of the Triangle stars on the walls, windows, and websites of local businesses and institutions. For two decades, Triangle residents have relied on our reader poll—and the iconic decals winners receive—to find the best of the best in their communities.

In this section, you’ll find Best of the Triangle winners in Durham County—a round-up of so many of the people, places, and organizations that make the Bull City special. Here, our readers have selected their favorite restaurants, bookstores, dentists, politicians, yoga studios, and much more.

Whether you’re deciding where to eat dinner, where to see art, or where to take your car for a tune-up, our readers’ top picks have you covered. We hope you’ll find this guide handy and take some time to try something new or revisit an old favorite from these pages.
