📌 Save this for your next day trip from NYC/NJ. Poughkeepsie is a great escape from the New York City noise without having to drive too far. Just about 1hr and a half away is this charming suburb with some great food options. Having brunch essiesrestaurantpk was truly a delightful experience from the friendly hostess to the delicious food. I definitely wanted to try everything on their brunch menu. They also serve lunch and dinner so hopefully I’ll be back to try it out 😋😋 . . . #newyork #newyorkstate #poughkeepsie #newyorkrestaurant #blackownedbusinesses #blackownedrestaurant #brunch #brunchrestaurants #cleo #daytrip #weekendgetaway #newyorkcity #nyc
