Pup-cations Are In: NYC Edition

Happy Sunday, babes!

Fall in NYC is pure magic—and this weekend, I snuck in a last-minute trip with my pup, Fred. From crisp walks through the Village to cozy brunches where he scored extra bacon (yes, he’s spoiled), it felt like the perfect moment to finally spill my guide to traveling with your dog.

So if you’ve ever wanted to explore the city without leaving your furry BFF behind, I’ve got you covered. Pet-friendly hotels, cafés, and chic spots where pups are basically VIPs? 👇 Scroll for all the deets!

TRAVEL

Even though Fred is a service dog and always flies in the cabin with me, I still book pet-friendly hotels in New York. It just makes everything smoother. NYC has been amazing — people really know their service dog laws, and Fred? He’s basically a celebrity on the streets of Manhattan .

If you’re planning to bring your pup to the city, here are my go-to tips:

    •    Book pet-friendly hotels anyway — Even if your dog is a service animal, it’s much easier when the hotel already has the setup (dog bowls, grass pads, pet-friendly floors). Fred thoroughly enjoyed his stay at the Andaz 5th Avenue!

    •    Know your airline rules ✈️ — For service dogs, they travel in the cabin with you. Always double-check with your airline; Delta, for example, has been super accommodating with Fred.

    •    Walk it out 🚶‍♀️ — Central Park is a must. It’s not only magical but also the best way to let your pup burn energy before a busy day.

    •    Plan your dining stops 🍸 — Most restaurants will welcome your service dog without hesitation, but it’s nice to give them a heads-up when you make a Resy reservation. Lure Fishbar is a must for a martini, celeb spotting, and Fred approves! Rezdora NYC is my go to spot for pasta + vino!

    •    Coffee breaks are for both of you ☕ — Grab a latte at Sip & Co while your pup gets attention from every passerby.

    •    Pack smart — Bring collapsible bowls, wipes, and your dog’s favorite treats for subway or Uber rides.

    •    Embrace the celebrity factor — Walking around with a poodle in a continental cut? Get ready to stop for photos!

NYC is one of the most dog-friendly cities I’ve experienced, and traveling here with Fred always feels like an adventure. Cheers, Frances @GalOffDuty
