New Restauraunt on the River in Poughkeepsie

In class we have frequently discussed the possibility of a cultural revitilization along the Hudson River Valley Region. Situated right along the river in Poughkeepsie, the exquisite Shadow on the Hudson Restauraunt is leading the charge. Boasting a large ballroom, dining room, and two fountains, the restauruant offers fancy food at an inexpensive rate and a beautiful view of the River and the Mid-Hudson Bridge. Shadow on the Hudson is gaining immense popularity locally.
Recordonline.com restauraunt critic Bill stated, " this place has been a huge hit since it opened. It specializes in excess. The food here is more than competent; most of it is very good, and it's served in enormous portions. Shadows on the Hudson is overpowering in many ways, but it also serves up an impressive dining experience that is generous, almost overwhelming.

Successful bars and restauraunts could be pivotal to the economic and cultural success the region is seeking. Upscale but not overexpensive restuaraunts such as the Shadow on the Hudson could draw not only tourists, but developers and businesses into the region.
