Poughkeepsie is not the place you would normally want to stop on the way to, well, to anywhere. One of the worst hotels I ever stayed at is in Poughkeepsie. They do have some decent diners and a college and a mile-long bridge high over the Hudson that you can walk across and that is pretty neat. None of those are reasons to go out of your way to Poughkeepsie. La Deliziosa’s is that reason. Located almost under the bridge in a tiny section of the town near industrial places along the river is a remarkable Italian pastry shop. We love to make this a pause on our trip to Maine because then we have cannoli and cookies and pastry for a week. Or maybe a couple of days. And you get all that goodness in little white boxes tied up with string. Classic.
