Very pleased to report that our 2-year-old was an angel. He stayed in his seat, ate well and charmed many in the vicinity. The riverfront called to us afterward, so we joined many others and strolled along our mighty Hudson River. Our son tossed in at least a bazillion stones, and got very excited when a few speed boats zoomed by. Well, I jumped right into the New Orleans atmosphere of Spanky's (wonderful background music, by the way) and enjoyed battered, fried fish, cole slaw, collard greens and plenty of corn bread with butter. You know what I always say? Moderation, moderation, moderation.After that scrumptious meal and impeccable service I just had to meet the proprietor! Richard LaVacca is the man who keeps Spanky‘s running like a well oiled mega-machine. We had a few laughs and Richard told me that Spanky’s has been at 85 Main Street in Poughkeepsie for over 23 years. He said that while many chain food establishments have opened up on Route 9, he feels confident that Spanky’s will continue to bring in the crowds. He feels that while people like to try restaurants that are new and different, they know that when it come down to a wholesome meal, the real thing is the real thing. I agree with Richard, Spanky’s is the real thing! If you’ve not been, I say jump in! Bring the gang and experience Spanky’s, a Poughkeepsie, NY original: http://www.spankysrestaurantpok.com/
