We tried to go on a Friday night for a bite to eat, but ended up moving on. Too crowded and loud, not much seating except at the bar, and at the time we went, there wasn’t any there. Good for them! Came back for lunch cause we had to try those sausages and I’m glad we did. Try one of their jam cocktails, they are lovely.

Lipman Park is a nice and fairly large town park. It features a big playground, a pond, several pavilions, an electric vehicle charging station and many picnic, barbecue and seating areas. There is a fairly large network of trails, which seems built and maintained for bicycle use but also make nice hiking trails. Unfortunately pets are not allowed.

It’s a nice little walk down from town to the lighthouse but unfortunately you cannot see it close up as it’s fenced off at quite a distance.
The current lighthouse was built with granite blocks in 1808 and automated in 1968.

Did you know that Poughkeepsie has a little Italy? When you find yourself there, make sure you go to LaDeliziosa for the best cannolis. I’m sure everything else is delicious as well and just walking into this bakery and looking at all the goodies is delightful!

Nice hiking area with several short trails you can string together. One area features a beautiful overlook of the Hudson river. This preserve is managed by Scenic Hudson and there is no fee. Make sure you keep your dog on a leash and check for ticks frequently.
