Our friends at CapeMay.com, whose offices are on the 500 block of Washington Street, conduct voting annually to find the best in shopping, dining, nightlife, leisure activities, and accommodations in Cape May. Known as the "Best of Cape May", the voting is open to the public, and Cape May lovers, both locals and visitors, participate each year. This year, as usual, the Washington Street Mall won big, with our businesses taking best in 18 categories as well as runner up in 17 categories! Two events that occur on or are sponsored by the Mall also made the cut! Check out the list of Mall businesses and events that won in this year's voting:
