Restaurants
Pendulum Fine Meats
820 Shirley Ave.
Vacation time isn't the time to maintain that diet of yours; it's a time to cheat a little right? After all you're here to taste what the city has to offer, why not let your dog do the same! Check out Pendulum for lunch and leave with a doggie bag, for you and your pup! Look in the freezer section for their prepackaged "beef pet food," your pet will thank you later!
The Birch Bar

Don't we dream of sitting outside and cracking a cold one with our dog? Well now you actually can! The Birch Bar, hidden gem turned eminent, offers beer for you and your canine! Order two brews, a charcuterie board and you'll have yourself a dog day!
