Westchester Hudson River Valley Restaurants

"It's Definitely not your average hot dog joint" declare discoverers of this Poughkeepsie lunch spot where choices include chicken and veggie versions, and 16 toppings that run from standards to "strange-yet-good sour cream & guacamole"; "Out-of-this-world Soups & chilis" are "a meal on their own", though there's desserts if you want it, with "slick music" adding soul to the simple setting.

More Than Hot Dogs

...to catch up on what we do with hot dogs, take a look a Soul Dog. This tiny, artsy, deep-blue-and-orange restaurant at 107 Main St. serves up beef, chicken or veggie hot dogs, with 17 different toppings, from good old mustard to a spicey peanut sauce with scallions.

Soul Dog, while "redefining the hot dog experience," captures the cool, creative soul of the emerging Poughkeepsie.
