In the Londonist's 'Top 10 Things To Do In The Borough Of Haringey, Harringay was included with Best Shop, the Salisbury Road based (and Gourmet Britain listed) shop, Andreas Michli & Sons, Salisbury Road.
The Best Church vote went to St John The Baptist, Wightman Road.
But the Queen's, Crouch End, pipped our own Salisbury at the post.
Odd choices or good calls?

Boo! The Salisbury is miles better than the Queen's.
I'm guessing the church is because of the stunning interior as photographed by HOL on Flickr.
In place of their suggestion of 'suicide bridge' as best view, I would offer the view from Mountview Road accross the covered reservoir. The contrast of this patch of green with the skyscapers of London in the distance is great. I had the idea of enhancing this further by converting the plain green sward to a wildflower meadow and suggested this as an idea to Thames Water who own the site, but alas they rejected the proposal. Something to do with the engineers detecting leaks through changes in the colour of the grass!
I supose it is easier to deal with a contractor to just come in and cut the grass rather than engage with a community group, although it does tend to contradict the community involvement and environmental responsibility guff on TW's website.
Personally I prefer the Queens but that is influenced by the fact it is more local to me. They are both great pubs however.
Yes, definately the best view - especially at 6.30am on a sunny day as the light catches the buildings. Lovely again at 8pm when I'm coming back the other way (long working day, me?), although possibly just pipped by coming down Crouch Hill, just before turning left into Mount View Road. Makes my day!
Diyarbakir restaurant on Green Lanes near the bridge should have been number one for me. Hands down the best Kebab in London. And yes I've tried them all!
The Londonist couldn't possibly have a covert Hellenophile bias, could it?

The DIYarbikir's a great name for a restaurant - but we could stay at home in our own kitchens if that's the deal.
