Here it is, this year’s “Best of Kent,” a special edition of The Kent Stater. The features you’ll find inside represent the results of public voting on 27 different categories, from “Best Restaurant” to “Best Coffee Shop” to “Best Beer.” 

Our goal is to recognize everything that contributes to the friendly, fun and collegial atmosphere of Kent.

We hope you enjoy this special Stater and find an opportunity to get out and experience the many wonderful things our beloved college town has to offer.
