Dog Day - New York, NY New York City is known for many things, including fabulous museums, great food and some of the best entertainment in the world. But New York is more than a Mecca of high art and culture. Woven between those towering skyscrapers, bustling streets and glitzy facades are some of the most dog-friendly tourist activities in the United States. An ideal dog day in New York begins with a stroll over to Fifth Avenue to have breakfast at Tiffany's. Well, sort of. The famous jewelry store doesn't actually serve food, but the beautiful merchandise is all the more enchanting when you are allowed to peruse it with your hound in tow. Plenty of other nearby shops and boutiques also welcome leashed dogs, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Brooks Brothers and Restoration Hardware. Next, take one of New York City's many dog-friendly walking tours, such as the Times Square Tour, which starts at the Times Square Visitors Center on Broadway. Then, visit the William Secord Art Gallery on East 76th Street, a pet-friendly gallery with 19th-century dog art and collectibles. Finally, head over to the Fetch Bar and Grill on Third Avenue, on the Upper East Side, for American cuisine with a canine theme. Fetch also sponsors an adopt-a-dog program with pictures of hopeful hounds displayed on the walls. After a busy day in the Big Apple, nothing is more relaxing than an afternoon stroll through Central Park, the pet-friendly haven located in the heart of Manhattan. Certain sections of the park are designated as leash-free dog runs, and leashed dogs are allowed in most other areas of the park, including the walking paths of the Shakespeare Gardens. For a pooch-perfect end to your day in the city that never sleeps, check into the Soho Grand Hotel, an eclectic boutique hotel that provides doggie beds, water and food bowls, and complimentary canine treats at the front desk. The Soho Grand also offers a room service menu for pets, and their concierge can make arrangements for pet sitters, dog walkers, pet spas and veterinary care during your stay. |
