Photography by: Angie Baan and Armando Rios

Even after several years of reporting on favorites, it was a piece of cake to cook up a new batch of metro Detroit superlatives this year, thanks to the viewers of Fox2 and you, our loyal readers. The following listings reflect hundreds of metro Detroit residents' favorite topnotch businesses, shops, restaurants, pastimes and more. We also serve up a panel of select readers who invited us into their homes and closets and out on their errand runs and social calls to discover what they can't live without. We hope this Favorites Section inspires and helps you to get what you need in your lives ... and cherish what you just can't live without, whether it's devoted dogs, cozy shawls, rich wines or cheap art.
