Park Slope-based teenager Quinn Reinhardt runs Dogs Allowed NYC, which highlights pet-friendly businesses who proudly display Dogs Allowed NYC decals on their storefront windows.
After adopting a mini schnauzer named Benji, dog owners Kelly and Phill realized how difficult it was to find places that would accommodate their four-legged friend, so they started Benji’s Guide to NYC to highlight some of Benji’s favorite spots.
And as we’ve mentioned in the past, BringFido is a great website for pet-friendly spots all around the country.
If in doubt you can always contact a business directly to ask whether they allow dogs. That’s probably a good idea in spite of our list since rules and allowances sometimes change.
