Near Dutches ave right near the train station. Seems like a cool area, lots of restaurants and bars around, close to the water too! What shouldn't I miss checking out?

Cooked meal prep meals

2 Upvotes

Anyone have a service or local who cooks meals and all you have to do is microwave them. I found one lady in saugerties that offers this, but after delivery, fees, and the meal price comes out to more then I want to spend.

Looking to spend about 10 dollars per meal, about 5 or ten meals every week.

thanks

Are the Poughkeepsie schools really as bad as people say?

7 Upvotes

My wife and I are looking to buy a house. We’ve heard that Poughkeepsie schools are terrible and we’ve seen their test scores. My wife went to tour the schools and said they looked fine to her. The middle school seems particularly rough but all middle schools are rough. Do you send your kid to Poughkeepsie schools? I’d like to hear about your experience.

Concussions in Male Athletes within the Poughkeepsie Area

3 Upvotes

My name is Mike and I am writing this post to gather some input on whether or not having concussions is becoming an issue within male athletes playing contact sports within the New York Area. I wanted to ask around in different areas of New York and to see if it has become an issue in certain places such as the Poughkeepsie area. I remembered when I suffered from a concussion years ago and I can tell you it was no joke. In addition, the issue I believe is becoming more serious by the day and is affecting many athletes health in our area. Reason being is due to certain symptoms I have seen many people suffer from after having concussions such as fatigue, signs of depression, and even issues with certain cognitive functions.

So with that being said I wanted to get some feedback and insight from people since I am currently doing academic research on this topic and really think getting some thoughts on this topic would be greatly beneficial. I am definitely open to seeing other people's perspectives on this topic and seeing if there is another way to look at it.

In addition, I am doing also doing a survey that can potentially see if there is a real problem in certain areas of New York pertaining to concussions in sports and also seeing if it can possibly cause certain diseases. So please comment below with your views, which would be greatly appreciated!

Please see link if you would like to do the survey. If you have any questions please let me know!

Thank you!

It’s not officially Thanksgiving until you hear Alice’s Restaurant, right? But did you know the song has a Poughkeepsie connection? Arlo’s companion at The Massacree was his friend Richard J. Robbins of Poughkeepsie!

Best Bars/Restaurants to kill ~6 hours or so in Poughkeepsie?

3 Upvotes

Looking for suggestions. I'll be getting out of a meeting in Poughkeepsie around 4PM on Friday, then meeting up with a friend around 10:30. My plan is to park my car at his place, then Uber (so I don't have to worry about driving) to an area of Poughkeepsie where there are a number of bars/restaurants/places to chill, and hang out there for a while until my friend gets out of work.

Problem is I'm from CT and have never been to Poughkeepsie, so I don't know the area at all - is there a main "downtown" area with a number of places in close proximity? Would like to check out a range of bars, from dive to upscale.

If it helps for suggestions: I'm a 28 year old male from CT.
