U.S. Army Drops In On Popular Hudson Valley Cafe For Lunch
Not something you see every day, but it was a much-welcomed hero's visit here in the Hudson Valley.
It was announced back in December that Paula Young was closing Paula's Public House on New Hackensack Rd in Poughkeepsie after 7 years to concentrate on the Paula's Runway Cafe located in Wappingers Fall, NY at Hudson Valley Regional Airport (Dutchess County Airport).

Paula's Runway Cafe serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a full bar and offers takeout and delivery. They also feature live music regularly. There was a nice surprise over the past weekend at the cafe according to a social media posting on Paula's Runway Cafe Facebook page.
The U.S. Army drooped in for lunch, for lunch and had nothing but great things to say about the establishment's staff and of course, food. Quite an awesome sight seeing the massive Chinook helicopter on the runway next to the cafe!
