No Need to Drive to Philly: 5 Great Hudson Valley Cheesesteak Spots

We've got plenty of great cheesesteak options, right here in the Hudson Valley.

National Cheesesteak Day takes place annually in March, and it celebrates the fantastic sandwich made from thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese in a long hoagie roll. Cheesesteaks' roots are in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which is why it is often referred to by the name Philly cheesesteak.
