Join The Cold Cuts Celebration At These Popular Hudson Valley Delis

Here are 5 favorite area delis to visit for National Cold Cuts Day March 3.

There are many great delis throughout the Hudson Valley. Living in Poughkeepsie for some years at this point, everyone is always talking about Rossi's Deli. It's clearly a top favorite around these parts, but honestly, I've only been a handful of times. My personal favorite happens to be K & D Deli in Poughkeepsie (which just closed sadly)..That was my go-to, as it was most convenient for me, and they made great sandwiches and had a great staff.  When I'm on the other side of the river, I always hit Wagon Wheel's Deli in Highland.
