Welcome to the annual Best of Brooklyn Voters Guide!
The pages in this book are invaluable, as each business has been nominated by the public, which means they provide exemplary goods and services.
Now in its sixth year, the Best of Brooklyn program has grown to be a coveted award for Brooklyn’s best businesses. Hundreds of businesses are nominated and thousands of the public vote each year. There will only be one first place winner in each category crowned BEST OF BROOKLYN.
The exposure of Best of Brooklyn is enormous for the businesses involved. Schneps Communications, publisher of the BrooklynReporter.com, Brownston-er.com, Brokelyn.com, The Home Reporter, Spectator News, Brooklyn Specta-tor and several other local outlets, utilizes all of its media assets to promote the Program, including the nomination period, voting round and listing of all the winners.
In fact, last year we had over 85,000 votes!
Each business that wins gets the right to utilize the “Best Of” logo/mark that is promoted in a tremendous amount of marketing, including plaques, banners, print advertisements, digital marketing, social media marketing, outdoor adver-tising, email signatures, business cards and so much more.
Recognition means the world to the winners, and along with that distinction comes a great deal of pride. The Best of Brooklyn impact is undeniable—it touches hearts and changes lives with these unique and distinguished marks of excellence.
So use these pages, patronize these businesses – and make sure to vote for your favorites at bestofbk.com!

He continued to live here while studying at NYU and did his dentistry residency at Lutheran Medical Center, now NYU Langone Brooklyn.Dr. Tepedino considers himself fortunate to be practicing in a neighborhood like ours. He strongly believes that although it is part of one of the largest cities in the world, Bay Ridge has a lot of small town character and is a great place to be.Dr. Tepedino considers Bay Ridge to be a real neighborhood, with people of different ethnicities, different ages and differ-ent socioeconomic backgrounds all working and living together. He enjoys knowing that there are neighbors who know each other, look out for each other and get together when something needs to get done.He is proud to have built his dental practice with the philosophy of treating his patients like family, they way he would like to be treated. He enjoys getting to know his patients more than just caring for their dental needs and thrives on interacting with them, caring for them and making them feel comfortable and welcome. Although he doesn’t always like to admit it, Dr. Tepedino has watched many of the children he saw for their first dental visit grow up, finish school, get married and have children of their own who he has seen in the office for their first dental visit. Dr. Tepedino is very pleased with the many young families who have been moving to Bay Ridge in order to take advantage of the great schools, shops and restaurants here. He is confident that these new families will feel welcome, become an integral part of the neighborhood and keep it such a great place to live.He hopes to continue to care for the dental needs of the patients who come to his practice and do what he can to keep Bay Ridge the place he has grown up in and loved for his whole life.

Celebrating over 25 years in Bay Ridge
Home grown dentist, Michael Chistopher Tepedino, has celebrated twenty �ve years of private dental practice here, in Bay Ridge.
Dr. Tepedino was born in the Bay Ridge Hospital in 1964. His parents, Carmine and Gelsomina are proud immigrants from Padula, Italy. He has two sisters, Rosetta a physical therapist, Elvira an attorney and a brother Gerard, a nephrologist.
Dr. Tepedino attended St. Anselm's Elementary School and Xaverian High School. He was accepted toNew York University's seven year combined BNDDS program and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery
degree in 1989. He completed a one year GP Residency at Lutheran Medical Center.Dr. Tepedino began his �rst "career" shortly after graduating from Xaverian. He joined the BRAVO
Volunteer Ambulance Service. Volunteering as a dispatcher, he became certi�ed as an Emergency Medical Technician. He served as their president from 1989 through 1992 and as Chairman of the Board of Directors for four years. He was awarded Life-Time Membership, the organization's highest award for his continued dedication and contribution to the corps. "I strongly believe it is up to each and every one of us to help make our communities better and safer," he says, we cannot wait for or depend on others to do that for us." He looks back at his time at BRAVO with pride and satisfaction and added, "I am grateful for all that BRAVO has taught me about administering a large organization, for all of the very close friendships that I have made through BRAVO and for all of the lives that I have been able to touch while serving."
Dr. Tepedino was recognized for his service to our community two years ago by being made a King of Kings County by the publishers of this paper.
Dr. Tepedino met his beautiful wife, Yiselle Castillo, while he was preparing to graduate dental school. She was just beginning her dental training at NYU. Michael proposed marriage on her graduation day and they were married in 1994. Dr. Castillo went on to train as a Periodontal Surgeon and practices in New York City.
Above all of his accomplishments, Dr. Tepedino is most proud of his two beautiful sons, Christopher and Alexander. �ey are both a source of ultimate joy. �ey are constant reminders of how wonderful life can be and how important it is to not let all of the twists and turns we experience in life divert us from what truly makes us happy.
Dr. Tepedino enjoys spending his days caring for the patients in his Bay Ridge dental o�ce. He has alway enjoyed making people mile, now he does it for a living .

Aurum & Sharpe
NOMINEE PROFILEMOVERS NOT SHAKERSBEST MOVING COMPANY Movers, Not Shakers!, Inc. was founded in early 2002. Two guys, formerly movers & shakers, now movers, not shakers. Since then we have steadily grown into a 50 person company with multiple trucks, a warehouse, and a large, knowledgeable office staff that can see you through the most challenging of circumstances. Short notice, large pack and moves, storage between moves, we do it all. In 2007, we began to run our fleet on Biodiesel, and started using GothamBoxes, reusable bins to replace cardboard. We deliver them to you, and pick them up when empty. So now we offer sustainability along with peace of mind. We pay a living wage as well, so our crews are more invested in your move, since they know, they just might see you again in the future. If you need to move, MOVE FORWARD, with Movers, Not Shakers!
