Summertime takes the cake, don’t you think? Readers, it’s a sweet treat to bring you the créme de la créme in our Best of Woodbury 2025—and we have it all, including your picks for the best restaurants, service providers, shops, businesses and more.
You voted online in January when the Readers’ Choice Poll went live and were treated to the finalists in March on our website. And finally—it’s time to meet your winners and runners-up in the Best of Woodbury. Don’t forget to bookmark the spots you’re eagerly awaiting to visit and leave this issue out and about for whenever inspiration strikes.
In these pages, we’re celebrating so much more. In my Editor’s Picks, I honor each season in Woodbury. After all, the seasonal changes bring much to do around town from enjoying one of our 50 parks to dining out at our delicious restaurants. Plus, writer Emma Souza introduces our new Editorial Advisory Board members, Michele Magistad, Shelly Schafer, Shawn Hogendorf and Sue McKeown; together, we explore their go-to spots and favorite activities around town.
But wait—there’s more! Our annual Focus on Woodbury photo contest is open July 1 through 5 p.m. on August 31. Submit your snapshots of our wonderful community now—from scenic spots and local wildlife to your own pets and activities.
Revel in all that summer brings—and don’t forget to mark your calendars for January 1, 2026, as our next Best of Woodbury commences.
Cheers!
