Dog-Friendly Restaurants in NYC
Every NYC dog owner dreams of great dog-friendly restaurants in NYC. Since NYC apartments are tiny, dog owners are always looking for adventures to have with their furry friends. While NYC offers a huge variety of dog parks, it’s nice to know you can also sit down to a meal with your precious pooch.
Before we get started, another way to show your NYC doggy some love is to put their photo on our giant Times Square billboard!Visit timessquarebillboard.com to learn more about how your pet’s photo or video can appear 22 times a day for as low as $150. (Use the code Megan10 for 10% off!)
NYC Dog-Friendly Tea House
If you’re in SoHo with your NYC doggo, visit Harney and Sons Tea (433 Broome St.). This quaint tea shop sells a huge assortment of Harney and Sons tea for you to take home as a souvenir, but there is also a tea counter where you can get yourself a nice warm tea. There are 275 different flavors to choose from. Dogs are allowed inside, which is wonderful in this chilly NYC weather. There is a tea tasting bar where every dog gets one free tasting per visit!
Brunch with your Pup
Lots of restaurants let your NYC dog dine outside with you, but only a few allow them to come indoors. Verde on Smith in Brooklyn (216 Smith St.) is one of those where NYC dogs are allowed inside to dine with you. When we say they can dine with you, there is even a dog-friendly menu. Try the salmon crepe for your canine cutie!
