One of the absolute must-see places in Poughkeepsie is the iconic Walkway Over the Hudson. Spanning 1.28 miles across the Hudson River, this incredible pedestrian bridge offers breathtaking views that are hard to match anywhere in the Hudson Valley. As someone who loves a good walk with scenic vistas, I find this walkway one of my favorite spots when you're looking to enjoy the sunrise, or sunset, or just get some fresh air.
While the city is known for its outdoor adventures and historical sites, the Galleria offers a change of pace with its wide array of stores, dining options, and entertainment. For anyone seeking places to visit near Poughkeepsie that provide indoor activities, the Galleria is an excellent option, especially on a rainy day or for some casual relaxation.
Your neighborhood tea & coffeehouse, great place to meet friends, read, write, just a nice place. Fresh local baked pastries. Great espresso drinks and the best coffee in Poughkeepsie.
Our favorite restaurant. One of Selena's students owns this restaurant. They make pizzas, pasta's, salad and amazing cocktails. PS. Tell them your Ms. Hernandez friends! (Otto's favorite teacher)
