Readers' Choice: Best Outdoor Dining

I saw this comment Tuesday here and a similar request on our Facebook page and have been thinking about it. I can't change out someone in the middle of a weeklong contest. Quite frankly, it was Arlington Rooftop's great reputation that helped persuade me to include it (noting that the rooftop opens April 1) in the first place :)

Here's what I'm thinking: We're going to plug along and see where the chips fall. And then in, say, a month, we'll hold a Round 2 -- perhaps among the same three establishments, perhaps Arlington Rooftop and a couple other restaurants.

That, to me, seems the fairest way to all involved so far -- and gives Arlington Rooftop a chance to go at it again post-April 1.

And I'm happy to hear from readers who they'd like to see in a Round 2. The weather's great!
