There was a total of 949 votes cast for the People’s Choice Award:
- Garden of Ink — 18% (174/949 votes)
- Adeline’s Deli — 16% (155/949)
- Gelber Associates — 12% (117/949)
- [TIE] The Coffee Box — 11% (105/949)
- Wholly Cow — 11% (105/949)
- Travel Skate Shop — 10.8% (103/949)
In the other category, for the Senior Art Class Award, nine members of the Senior Art Club toured all of the participating business holiday windows on Dec. 2 and chose their top three:
The two first-place winners, Garden of Ink and Gelber Associates, will receive a $200 award, a trophy, and a feature in the spring issue of the Rahway Review. Thanks to all for voting and for supporting Rahway’s small businesses.
Be on the lookout for new polls in 2024 — and don’t forget, we’re always open to suggestions — Thanks to all who voted in all of the monthly polls during 2023.
