The Nicest Places in America
(November 2017 to November 2021) In 2017, RD launched our Nicest Places in America contest, a nationwide search for places around the country where people come together and kindness and civility win, even in the face of challenges. Our Nicest Places, through the years: Gallatin, Tennessee (2017), Yassin’s Falafel House in Knoxville, Tennessee (2018), Columbiana, Ohio (2019), Buchanan, Michigan (2020), and The Quality Inn in Kodak, Tennessee (2021). For the past five years, our readers have inspired us, nominating thousands of towns, neighborhoods, stores, and even front porches with stories that demonstrate the best of humanity. And we’re ramping up for 2022’s Nicest Places in America—nominate your favorite place at rd.com/nicest. We might add it to our list.
