Posted by Dylan Taft on
For not being in a major city, The Hudson Valley is a bit spoiled when it comes to the mouth watering culinary options that are available to us.

While the debate over who will replace Leno (if & when the cagey Leno decides to leave) has been going on for years, sources say that it's official: Leno's out and Fallon is in!
