Our dogs are not phased by cold weather. Huskies thrive on it. So traveling with them in winter time is always an option. We live just south of New York City and love to traverse the city streets, shop, and eat. It’s a good cure for cabin fever. There are many places which allow you to eat at outdoor seating with your canines in warm weather. But what about when the mercury heads south and it’s too cold to eat outdoors?
Walking up Spring Street in SoHo is always an adventure. No matter how many times we’ve traversed this avenue, we always find something new. Last time we were in NYC with the pups, we made our way slowly up Spring Street. Fiona and Shelby started picking up the pace and their sled dog genes kicked in. They are generally pretty sedate in the city as there is so much activity every where we go and they are overwhelmed with the many scents and sounds and sights which are so different from our suburban New Jersey home.

Our family has been traveling to Cape Cod since the 1950’s, when my grandparents began driving from New Jersey to Massachusetts every year for the striped bass fishing.

Fiona and Secret are always kindly invited in to visit the Doc Shoppe in Red Bank. There’s a huge leather ottoman that they make their own and the staff don’t seem to mind… The layout is wide open with plenty of room for pups to roam while you browse the fine selection of shoes. Rob and I love Doc Marten shoes. They not only look cool but are made to last. I’ve had some of mine for over 15 years. It’s no surprise that they are a pet friendly business! I don’t know about all locations, but the ones in NYC are very pet friendly, too.
