Subs, Hoagies, Clubs: Best Places To Get ’em in the Hudson Valley
National Hoagie Day is Thursday (May 5).
According to National Day Calendar, National Hoagie Day celebrates a hero of a sandwich, the sub or grinder. The cold or hot sandwich is served on a long Italian roll or French bread lengthwise, filled with meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments. One may observe National Hoagie Day by visiting your favorite sub shop and using #NationalHoagieDay to post on social media.
When you think of popular sub shops, many think of the chains like Subway and Jersey Mike's, which have numerous locations throughout the Hudson Valley area. Jersey Mike's opened a new Poughkeepsie location back in March.
Another sub shop that happens to not be a chain, Paulie Boy Hero Shop, opened at the beginning of this year in Kingston, becoming Ulster County's newest sub shop.
We asked the Hudson Valley where in the area is their go-to place for the best subs, and have compiled a top 5 list.
