Readers' Choice: Best Place to Get a Pedicure in Bristol and Warren

This week, you pick the best place to get a Pedicure.

We could all benefit from a spa visit now and then, but making the time for it is another story. While some make regular "me-time" appointments, most of us have a hard time squeezing them into our hectic weekly schedules. So when we do get around to making an appointment, we want to know that the service is going to be worth our time and money. Pedicures are one of those treats.

You Pick: Best Fries in Bristol Warren

This week's "Best Of" focuses on delicious salty and sometimes greasy french fries.

We eat a lot of French fries in our lifetime, and after awhile, they all start to taste the same: a little salty, slightly crispy, decent after a dip in Ketchup. But when you're served an extra special platter of fries, you know it. Maybe it's because they're hand-cut or extra crispy. Or it's because they're curly or covered in cracked black pepper. Whatever it is, you know when they stand out because they become more than just a side order. They become the main enjoyment of the meal.  Everyone has their opinion about who serves up the best local fries. What's yours?
