Even In Winter, Poughkeepsie Waterfront One Of City's Jewels POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - The Hudson River Valley provides some of the area's most impressive scenic views, and there aren't many places better than the Poughkeepsie waterfront to enjoy some of the best around - especially in winter.

Barbados Native Perseveres, Brings Caribbean Flair To Mahopac's EMY Flowers MAHOPAC, N.Y. - Mahopac's Sherry Grimes-Jenkins understands perseverance. The Barbados native came to the United States with her family in the 80s, and by 1999 found herself in the Bronx - single, with a new baby and a tough road ahead. "As a single mom with a new baby I was going through some difficult times," Grimes-Jenkins told Daily Voice. "We were in the Bronx, and I needed to keep a roof over our heads." She had an idea - to start her own flower business, so she took the $300 dollars she had, got some good business advice from an uncle, and dove in. Eighteen year…

A Beacon Classic: Yankee Clipper Diner A City Landmark Since 1946 BEACON, N.Y. - There's something about an old-fashioned, honest-to-goodness, real-deal diner that can't be beat. It's classic Americana. Beacon's family-owned and operated Yankee Clipper is indeed the real deal. The diner opened in 1946, and the classic look - inside and out - has changed, but not much. You know you're from Beacon if you've eaten at the Yankee Clipper. And if you're from Beacon, you probably have your own Yankee Clipper memories.

Craft brew lovers were lined up to taste samples of the brewery's…
