North Shore's Best to be Celebrated Waterfront in Beverly Wednesday Night

The best of the North Shore will be honored on Wednesday night during a celebration at the waterfront Misselwood Estate in Beverly.

Hundreds of Northshore magazine’s Best of the North Shore winners, readers and contributors will gather to celebrate the 2014 picks, which all appear in the August issue.

It is the first year that winners in the Best of the North Shore awards - that have been handed out for 9 years - will celebrate alongside magazine readers.

There were award winners this year in more than 170 categories, including dining, indulging, shopping, playing and others.

Editor Nancy E. Berry brought together a committee to help with the editors’ picks and creative director Ryan Jolley assembled a team of photographers to capture the best places and faces on the North Shore.

“We are especially thrilled to celebrate this year alongside our readers — 37,000 readers weighed in to give us their top picks,” Berry said.

The celebration will include live music along with samples of dishes from the 2014 winners such as Strega Prime, L’Andana, Tuscan Kitchen, Lexie’s Burgers, Brine, American BBQ, Ceia, Oregano, Seaport Grille and Pride’s Osteria. Beer, wine and cocktails from the North Shore will also be served.

General admission tickets are $50 per person and food and an open bar.

VIP admission tickets are $75 per person and include food and open bar plus exclusive access to the VIP area and a swag bag.
