Best Places To Get Meatballs in the Hudson Valley

National Meatball Day is this Wednesday (March 9).

According to National Day Calendar, March 9 recognizes one of the great American food holidays, National Meatball Day. There are many ways to celebrate meatballs, with spaghetti, on a sub, on pizza, etc. There are Swedish meatballs, turkey meatballs, lamb meatballs, the list goes on. Some ways of observing National Meatball Day include ordering meatballs at your favorite restaurant or making homemade meatballs at home and using #NationalMeatballDay to share on social media.  I personally have had some of the best meatballs I've ever had at Encore Restaurant in Marlboro.
