After a brief hiatus, Patch is bringing back its “Best Of” series, which allows readers to vote for their favorite businesses and places in Stoughton.

There is a lot to celebrate about the Stoughton area: great local restaurants, businesses and nearby shopping options.

But who do you think is the best? 

Help Patch determine the best of the best in the Stoughton area by entering your nominations in each one of these categories. (Click on the category below and then submit your nomination in the comments stream at the bottom of that article.)

We will be accepting nominations until July 9.

Then, on July 23, come back to vote on which nominee is the best. Whoever gets the most votes will be named the Readers' Choice winner.
