Where do you like to eat for breakfast- enjoy a burger or a special night out? Come on, foodies, we know you are out there. Daycare for kids or pets, auto repair, lawn care, antique shops, or golf courses- we look forward to you weighing in on all of those and more.
On Monday, Now Georgia will launch the “Best Of” Northeast Georgia. We will feature nine categories with more than 100 different options. Don’t let that overwhelm you. Just scroll and pick your favorites.
This corner of Georgia we call home is defined by the Blue Ridge Mountains, where the Chattahoochee River begins, and by scenic lakes, waterfalls, and mountain communities that shape the region’s character.
Northeast Georgia celebrates a rich history shaped by agriculture, manufacturing, and communities nestled among the foothills. Today, the region continues to grow while holding tightly to the character and traditions that make it unique.
Major employers in healthcare, education, manufacturing, poultry, and tourism help drive the regional economy. Yet, from Gainesville and Athens to Blairsville, Helen, Clarkesville, Toccoa, Clayton, and Dahlonega, Northeast Georgia is filled with close-knit communities that still offer that unmistakable small-town feel—the kind of places where everybody knows your name.
From local restaurants and unique shops to scenic views, walks, wineries, and family attractions, we’re eager to hear what you think and who you believe represents the very best Northeast Georgia has to offer.
Your Favorites. Your Region. Your Vote. Coming Monday, September 21!
