Congratulations to all the winners of Blank Slate Media’s Fifth Annual Best of the North Shore Contest 2019!

Thank you to the readers of Blank Slate Media’s 6 award-winning newspapers and all of our online readers who voted in this year’s contest, making it the biggest and most competitive contest yet.

We hope you enjoyed being a part of the voting process; your participation made our contest a huge success once again.

Congratulations to ALL of our nominees. The communities you represent appreciate all that you offer. To our First Place Winners, Runners Up and Honorable Mentions enjoy the accolades of being known as the Best of the North Shore 2019!

Children see us differently because we care for them differently.

Katelyn, age 7, sees Dr. Mittler as more than a surgeon—she sees a hero who’s as bright as the sun.

At Cohen Children’s, kids see us as more than doctors, nurses and therapists. They see heroes, rock stars, royalty, friends. And we see them differently, too— not as patients, but as children who deserve the very best. That’s why we’re ranked in nine specialties by U.S. News & World Report—and why we’re one of the nation’s best children’s hospitals.

Bobb Howard’s General Store and Auto Repair 581 Lakeville Road, New Hyde Park, 11040 bobbhowardsgeneralstore.com 516-354-9564 Bobb Howard’s Community Service Station is a family owned and operated auto repair business that opened 73 years ago, on Columbus Day, 1946.

It is a complete automotive repair facility that performs oil changes to motor changes and everything in between. Today, as in 1946, old-time values continue to be followed; each automobile gets vacuumed, has its windows washed, and you get a “sweet treat” from their attached general store.

Cleanliness, honesty and integrity are of utmost importance to the owners, Eileen and Ronnie, and they are now servicing 2nd, 3rd and even 4th generations of family automobiles, not only from the neighborhood but from all over the tri-state area!

Many of their techs are with them over 25 years – that speaks volumes! Stop in, say “hello”, check out their free oil change program and see why their best advertising is “word of mouth”. Open Monday – Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

It is a complete automotive repair facility that performs oil changes to motor changes and everything in between. Today, as in 1946, old-time values continue to be followed; each automobile gets vacuumed, has its windows washed, and you get a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweet treatâ&#x20AC;? from their attached general store.

Cleanliness, honesty and integrity are of utmost importance to the owners, Eileen and Ronnie, and they are now servicing 2nd, 3rd and even 4th generations of family automobiles, not only from the neighborhood but from all over the tri-state area!

Many of their techs are with them over 25 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that speaks volumes! Stop in, say â&#x20AC;&#x153;helloâ&#x20AC;?, check out their free oil change program and see why their best advertising is â&#x20AC;&#x153;word of mouthâ&#x20AC;?.

They create party favors and centerpieces in every price range, plan corporate events, weddings, bar mitzvahs, and showers, and they are famous for milestone birthday gifts, “perfect grandkid presents”, and fun stocking stuffers for kids and “kids at heart”… Eileen and Ronnie love being able to put a smile on someone’s face, even if it’s with a nickel piece of bubblegum!
