Voting for the 2009 Dining & Entertainment All Stars begins this week! Summer is here and we bet you’re thinking about dining with friends, enjoying cocktails with a date and spending more time out and about at clubs and pubs. With that in mind, it’s time to vote for your favorite local dining and entertainment businesses like restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs. The CitySquares All-Star campaign is your opportunity to share your favorite businesses with your neighbors, and it’s a great way to let the local businesses know how much you appreciate them. So go on – hop over to CitySquares and vote for your favorite restaurants, bars, and clubs!

Throughout 2009 scores of people will rate businesses on CitySquares.com and we invite you to rate your favorite destinations! Each season there will be a different All Star campaign, with Beauty & Wellness being the first, Dining & Entertainment being the second and Shopping starting in October.

Whether it’s the bicycle shop who helped you find some new wheels, or that local clothing retailer around the corner who had the perfect jacket, this is your chance to say thanks and give them some recognition. All Star winners will be picked according to your votes, there are no editorial picks. And hey, while you’re at it, why not share your experiences with these businesses as well?
