(845)-825-0036
Open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Located just across the street from campus, the Red Fox Eatery prides itself on making some of the best sandwiches around town.

www.cosimospoughkeepsie.com

Cosimo’s is a sophisticated sit-in restaurant and bar, which normally would not be included on a list for takeout. Given the challenging circumstances of COVID-19, the classy Italian dine-in has adapted to the changes. Cosimo’s does an excellent job at preparing their signature dishes that are normally served in-person, now for takeout. However, if the restaurant has the room, definitely make reservations to dine-in.
