With riches to choose from, it’s never easy to pick a final 40 for these awards, now in their eighth year. We regretted those we had to pass over; we celebrate those we chose (and we each recused ourselves from judging those we knew personally).
Next stop, all aboard the Aqua Azul, a luxury four-story yacht, to toast the winners as we sail around the island of Manhattan. We look forward to seeing you on September 19 to cheer, feast, and network.
