Where to Get Free Pancakes in the Hudson Valley Today

It's International Pancake Day, and there are several locations throughout the Hudson Valley where you can pick up a free stack of flapjacks.

To celebrate everyone's love of pancakes, the International House of Pancakes is giving out free short stacks of buttermilk pancakes to everyone who stops by any of their locations until 7pm this evening. In exchange, IHOP is asking patrons to make a donation to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Since 2006, the pancake holiday has raised over $20 million to help sick kids.

It's not too late to enjoy some free pancakes and help out the Children's Miracle Network. Here are some local IHOP restaurants that you can visit today:
