Most pet owners can relate to this: you’re headed out to the beach or your friend’s summer BBQ–and you desperately want to bring your dog along.

2. New York City has plenty of dog-friendly spots (if
you know where to look). Looking to spend time
with your pup in the park or for a dog-friendly
brunch spot? I’ve got some recommendations.
Here are my favorite dog-friendly places to visit in
New York City. Let’s face it: life is better with your
dog by your side.

3. There are 23 dog-friendly areas throughout
Central Park and most of the park’s open green
space can be enjoyed off-leash before 9AM and
after 9PM.

4. This dog run is interesting because of the man-made
cement formations and large boulders that dogs can
run on and between. It’s not a huge dog run, but it’s
big enough not to be too crowded and to have some
space for dogs to run.

WATERSIDE PARK

5. Well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome inside
Mission Dolores in Park Slope, so bring your dog
along with you. At this Brooklyn establishment, it’s
not uncommon to see a pup perched with his
human at the counter.

6. This iconic Riverside Park cafe is a scenic place to
grab a bite with your dog.

dogs (up to 25 lbs.), including a front desk fully-
stocked with dog biscuits, in-room pet food bowls,
and onsite dog walking services.
