Eastdale Village Growing By The Day in Poughkeepsie, New York

If you're paying attention to Eastdale Village in Poughkeepsie on social media, you'll notice that every so often they're adding a new addition to their community.

The most recent addition to Eastdale Village is the cajun-themed restaurant Barbu.

Barbu brings "bright, bold flavors and energy of New Orleans" to the Hudson Valley with a "welcoming wit and charm." A quick glance at the Barbu Instagram will have you salivating over Boudin balls (Okra fries), Creole Fried Chicken, with mashed potatoes, Grillades and Grits, and my favorite Brûléed Banana Brownie:

Is anyone else starving now?

It looks like a new restaurant will join Barbu in the Eastdale Village line up in the near future.

Who Has The Best Greek Food in the Hudson Valley?

The Hudson Valley has quickly become a foodie's paradise. There are all types of cuisine in every corner of every county in the region.

We're no strangers to Italian food and Mexican restaurants, but I feel like there aren't many authentic Greek restaurants in the area.

However, with that being said, the Greek restaurants we do have in our community are top-notch. I'll take quality over quantity any day.

In Dutchess County, one of the most popular Greek restaurants, which was voted Best in the Hudson Valley 6 years in a row, is Athena Gyro Greek Taverna.

With locations in LaGrange and Fishkill, Athena serves up fresh and authentic Greek dishes like souvlaki, Moussaka, and of course Gyros. Now, Athena is making it easier and quicker to grab your favorite Greek foods with a new location in Poughkeepsie, New York.

Get Your Greek Food To Go at Eastdale Village

Eastdale Village in Poughkeepsie, New York, announced the addition of a new Athena Gyro Greek Taverna. The new Athena location is a bit smaller than their current locations in LaGrange and Fishkill, taking over the old Reconnect building in Cottage Square. And of course, there's a reason for that. The Eastdale Village Athena location will be "Athena 2 Go."

On social media, they write "We are so thrilled to announce our “soon to be” newest addition to the Athena Gyro Family “Athena 2 Go!!” Where we will offer quick and easy Authentic Greek takeout options!"

Currently, there isn't a set opening date, but keep a close eye on Eastdale Village and Athena Gyro's social media accounts for any updates.

LOOK! Abandoned Orange County Chopper HQs in Newburgh-TLC's 'American Chopper'

WARNING: Under no circumstances should you enter this property. By doing so you risk bodily harm and/or prosecution for trespassing on private property.
In 2003, a father-son business reality show hit the Discovery Channel. It was called American Chopper and it followed the custom motorcycle-building business of the Teutul family out of Newburgh, NY. Paul Sr. owned the shop with sons Paul Jr. and Mikey working in the business. There was a slew of cast and characters. The center of the show wasn't just the amazing custom motorcycles built for celebrities and others, it was the volatile relationship between Sr. and Jr. The show ran for 12 seasons before the two could no longer get along. It ended up in lawsuits and the two not talking for ten-plus years. In the past few years, the business moved to Florida. This left the 61,000-square-foot headquarters for sale and abandoned. Take a look at what remained of Orange County Choppers.
