We want to hear you ideas. Vote in our poll and add your reviews to the listing.
The Best of Patch: Readers' Choice contest this week highlights those local haunts we drive by often, but may have never visited. If you're like me, staycations are sometimes even more fun than vacations—they're usually cheaper by a lot and you never really know what's in your backyard. So, we ask, where is the best staycation in the area? Here are some of our favorite places, but if we're leaving one off of the list, please let us know in the comments and we'll add it: Voting in the poll below is open until 9 a.m. Friday. Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by Shrewsbury Patch editor Jennifer Lucarelli, based on poll results, comments and reviews on …

The grateful owner thanks his customers and the town.
Congratulations to Danielle’s Pub, named the best place to have breakfast in Grafton. The popular pub received nearly half of the ballots cast. Forty-four voters gave the pub the nod out of 92 votes cast. Owner Dennis Goe said the honor made his day. “I’m very, very privileged,’’ he said. “That’s an honor.’’ Danielle’s Pub has been serving breakfast for 33 years, with the exception of one year when the business was dealing with the aftermath of a fire. “I love my customers. I love everyone in Grafton,’’ he said. “I enjoy my job.’’ And based on the results of the poll, people in Grafton are glad he does. Congratulations also go to Donut Star, which placed second with 18 votes, and Post Office Pub, which earned the bronze with 16 nods. …
