While the Poughkeepsie, NY area is far from lacking in flavorful restaurants (case in point - the world famous Culinary cooking school is a mere few miles down the road), one cuisine that can be hard to pinpoint is the always-tasty Creole-inspired fare. Where's a Poughkeepsie-are apartment-ite hungry for jambalaya, spiced Cajun shrimp or, you guessed it, even alligator bites to turn? Spanky's! Having long ago cornered the Poughkeepsie-area market on Cajun cooking, Spanky's presents traditional favorites and unique original recipes with zesty, spiced flair. From their legendary fat Tuesday specials ($2 beers and $4 Hurricanes!) to their huge-crowd-drawing catfish festival in September, Spanky's is a Poughkeepsie landmark of mouth-watering Louisiana-inspired cuisine. Tired of watching all of those girls go wild on your apartment television set during Mardi Gras? Head down to Spanky's every February, where the blues bands kick up a jamboree nightly, the libations are plentiful, and the beads act as nightly currency. Crawfish is imported constantly at Spanky's, yielding some truly memorable dishes, and what better way to end a long year than with their annual holiday bash 'the Creole Christmas'? Featuring short wait times, reasonable prices, and that oh-so-intangible Louisiana flair that always makes a night out something special, Spanky's is a one-stop time machine to the New Orleans of old for Poughkeepsie-area apartment-ites.
