Downtown pit bulls. Uptown poodles. Walk down any street, any time and there’s living, four-legged proof that New Yorkers love their dogs! New York’s dogs are as varied as its people, and when I came across this ADORABLE Upper East Side illustration, I simply had to share it with all of you! If you live in Manhattan (especially close to the Upper East or West Side), you know that Central Park is a great spot for any and all occasions. But did you know that designated spots in the park allow you to let your dog off the leash before 9 am and after 9 pm? There are 23 areas around Central Park for your dog to dig, sniff, roll, and run around without the confines of a leash – a great way to grab some fresh air and kickstart your day with your better half.
