2026 Best of NH

2026 Best of NH

Since 2000, New Hampshire Magazine has polled and published the picks of its readers and editors in categories that range from best cupcakes to best martini to best antiques shop and everything in between.

Voting period: January 12 - March 12, 2026. Please vote in at least 10 categories for your vote to be counted. You must register/login to vote. Write in restaurants and businesses are welcome! The categories for the 2026 Best of NH ballot are set and we will not be adding any additional categories to the ballot; please do not reach out asking to add categories.

More information about Best of NH, including information about the Best of NH Party in June, can be found at bestofnh.com

Important: Where we draw the line. You'll notice many categories have regional references and it can be a little confusing to know which region each business is in. For the sake of this ballot, we use the regions as laid out here.
