There are numerous pet-friendly restaurants in the populous city of New York, an international metropolis. Whether it's fast food joints, bars, or restaurants, most of them welcome pets. However, some places not only have a pet-friendly environment but also receive great reviews for their food. Next time, bring your beloved furry friend along when you want to enjoy delicious dishes. Here are a few pet-friendly restaurants I recommend in NYC and Brooklyn.

Shake Shack, a well-known burger joint in the East, is a must-visit fast food restaurant for many tourists coming to New York. In addition to its famous signature burgers and milkshakes, this place is also known for being pet-friendly. The restaurant even offers a dog menu, featuring specially made delicious dog biscuits with whipped peanut butter and vanilla custard sauce.

Barking Dog Luncheonette

This restaurant in the Upper East Side is highly rated and quite popular. Many pet owners bring their dogs here to dine. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and also offer a brunch menu on holidays. While you enjoy your meal, you won't have to leave your dog staring hungrily; the restaurant provides water, dog biscuits, and even chicken pieces for the dogs to enjoy.

Boat Basin Café

Located in the Upper West Side, this restaurant is near a beautiful riverside view of the Hudson River. It is often visited by dog owners who come here after walking their dogs in Riverside Park to take a break with their furry friends. In the evening, after exercising with your dog, come here to enjoy a margarita and watch the beautiful sunset.

Fred’s Restaurant

The gathering place for dog lovers is probably this American restaurant in the Upper West Side. The walls of the restaurant are covered with photos of dogs, giving customers the feeling of being surrounded by dogs! Moreover, this restaurant allows dogs to enter and stay with their owners inside, rather than being tied up on the outdoor terrace and separated from their owners, which is why it is particularly well-received.

Lucky Dog

The bar is quite famous in the Brooklyn area. If pet owners want to have a drink but don't want to leave their dogs at home, they are welcome to visit Lucky Dog. Here, dogs are treated as VIPs. They can climb onto seats and lie on the bar without being stopped, enjoying a lot of freedom. This has made it a popular spot for pet owners to have a drink with their beloved dogs.

Von

Von is a bar with great lighting, atmosphere, and environment, offering a very extensive drink menu. The establishment welcomes dogs inside, and while they can't drink with their owners, water and snacks are always available. However, note that on weekend nights, due to the crowd, dogs are not allowed for their safety.
