Going to the Dogs
New Yorkers love their dogs. They smuggle their pups into stores and restaurants, blatantly ignoring signs that announce laws against doing so. They dress Fido in fashionable sweaters and colorful canine booties. They hire pricey dog walkers (and sometimes, if their puppy needs extra exercise, dog runners). They lobby local legislators for dog runs in parks all over the city, where dogs are often segregated by size so that doggy "play dates" don't get out of hand. They suffer the daily indignity of picking up dog poop. They even make monthly grooming appointments to be sure their pampered pooch always looks his best. So it is hardly a surprise that dog-themed restaurants are a perennial favorite. Lines for weekend brunch are always long outside the two Upper East Side Barking Dog locations, which features doggy decorations galore; the Murray Hill outpost does a brisk business, too. Fetch, also on the Upper East Side goes one better, with it's "adoption wall" and Animal Haven partnership.
