ARISTODOGS are a fundamental part of our lives; they are another member of the family. We love spending time with them and having them accompany us everywhere. Unfortunately, not all establishments are pet-friendly. We cannot enjoy a coffee with our dogs at every café.
In New York, this is no longer a problem. Recently, the first café exclusively for ARISTODOGS, Boris&Horton, opened. Located at 195 Avenue, just meters from Tompkins Square Park.
This café is the brainchild of Coppy Holzman and his daughter Logan Mikhly. They both love dogs and, of course, coffee. With this project, they wanted to find a solution so New Yorkers would not have to leave their dogs on the street every time they entered an establishment where dogs are not allowed.
The name of this café is a tribute to Coppy Holzman and Logan Mikhly's ARISTODOGS. Boris is seven years old and was found wandering along the beach. Horton is two years old.
For health and hygiene reasons, the New York Department of Health does not allow them to serve food and drinks in the same place where the dogs are. To solve this problem, they divided the café into three sections separated by large windows. In the first section is the area where customers order their drinks and food to take to the dog section, which has tables, chairs, a small shop, and a booth for taking photos with pets. There is also a traditional café where dogs are not allowed.
You can enjoy a wide variety of coffees and sweets. But if you prefer savory rather than sweet, they also have an extensive menu of snacks accompanied by beers or wines. All of it alongside your ARISTODOG.
And if that were not enough, this café for ARISTODOGS and ARISTOPARENTS has a charitable purpose on weekends. During these days, events are held to promote pet adoption and raise funds. To organize these events, they receive help from several animal associations and shelters.
At ARISTOPET, we love discovering new pet-friendly places where we can enjoy a pleasant time with our pets. In the Malasaña neighborhood, we can find several pet-friendly establishments; click here to find out which ones.
