NYC For Dog Lovers

One of the best things about the city is that you can see (and sometimes pet - of you get consent!) almost every breed of dog here. There are lots of niche businesses here that cater to our furry friends, and lots of ways to hang out with a canine during your trip to NYC.

The AKC Museum of the Dog, Midtown East - Did you have any idea there was a whole museum here for dog lovers??

Boris & Horton, Lower East Side - This is a dog-friendly cafe where you can bring your own pup, or just enjoy the company of others!

Fred’s NYC, Upper West Side - this is a great spot for a date night, with terrific mac and cheese. It also features thousandssss of dog photos on all the walls, and you can even bring your own to be hung up with the pack!

Puppy Yoga @ PuppySphere, Flatiron District - $55 will get you 50 minutes of fluffy therapy with a four-legged cutie.

Barking Dog Restaurant, Upper East Side or Hell’s Kitchen - a dog-centric menu & decor, and plenty of dog-friendly seating.

Balto Statue in Central Park - Go visit the park’s most famous non-human resident! Balto was a husky hero, delivering life-saving medication during a diptheria outbreak in Alaska. Good boy!

Also, go to literally ANY dog run at a park near you (you can’t go inside unless you are accompanied by a dog, but you can politely watch from outside the fence!)
