The "Best of Rhode Island" is a group of awards given by Rhode Island Magazine in an annual issue. These awards are akin to the "Best of Boston" but are not nearly as numerous.
The awards are given in a wide range of categories that vary from year-to-year ad hoc. Recent awards include best batik linens, best no-pain elopement, best reiki master, best roast chicken, best children's theatre, and best tequila.[3]

A recent addition to the magazine, these now-yearly awards recognize "the weirdest, dumbest, most outrageous" moments of the preceding year.[4]
