When we ended our spring run of Patch Readers' Choice contests a few weeks ago, we intended to take a summer break. But our flight got back early, with a whole bunch of Readers' Choice contests that are all happening now. At the same time. Starting today.

We want to know who/what/where you think is the best in Brookline.

Help Patch determine the best of the best in by entering your nominations in each one of the categories below. (Click the category for which you are nominating, then write a nomination in the comments stream at the bottom of the article.)

We will accept nominations until July 9.

Then, on July 23, come back to vote for your nominees, or which ones you think are the best. Whoever gets the most votes will be named the Readers' Choice winner in that category.
