A-List 2011 Readers' Picks Results

Earlier this year, we asked you to tell us who you think is the best of the best in St. Louis in our 2011 A-List Readers' Poll. In our biggest response ever, more than 13,000 of you voted for your favorites in Shopping, Body, Kids, Service, Food, Night Life, Culture, Media, Sports, and Amusements. In the July issue of SLM we listed your top pics in each category. Now, every Tuesday from June 21 through July 12, we're announcing the runners-up (in alphabetical order).

Here's the schedule:

- Shopping, Body, and Kids: June 21

- Service, Culture, and Media: June 28 (p. 2)

- Food and Night Life: July 5 (p. 3)

- Sports and Amusements: July 12 (p. 4)

And don't miss the A-List party, the can't-miss party of the summer, on July 14!
