Dog Day: Top Dog-Friendly Places on Long Island | Laffey Real Estate

Dogs do so much for us humans. Some do police work, others go on rescue missions, and many simply greet us at the door with snuggles and kisses. On August 26th, we all have an opportunity to celebrate our dogs and show appreciation for their kind, loving personalities. National Dog Day was founded in 2004 to promote dogs and draw attention to those needing adoption from shelters. Luckily, Long Island has plenty of dog-friendly places where you can celebrate. Here are a few top places our real estate agents recommend.

  • Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings - 420 Northern Blvd., Great Neck, NY 11021
    Coal-fired pizza is the star of the show at Anthony's, and you can try one with a variety of toppings, including the Sweet Caroline BBQ Chicken Pizza with marinated chicken breast, Sweet Caroline BBQ sauce, mozzarella, red onions, and crispy bacon. Enjoy your pizza at one of four outdoor dog-friendly tables, and be sure to visit these Great Neck homes for sale after your meal.

  • Sagamore Hill National Historic Site: 20 Sagamore Hill Road, Oyster Bay, NY 11771
    If you happen to be out looking at Oyster Bay homes for sale, take your dog for some exercise at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site. This was the former home of President Theodore Roosevelt. The nature trails welcome dogs as long as they are leashed. Various plaques along the trail tell you more about the wildlife and plants at Sagamore Hill. Much of the land is salt marsh, so you'll see plenty of water birds.
  • Bosphorus Cafe Grill - 138 Shore Road, Port Washington, NY 11050
    Specializing in authentic Turkish cuisine, Bosphorus Cafe Grill also allows you to dine at one of three outdoor dog-friendly tables. Choose from sandwiches like the Bosphorus Gyro Cheese Steak or the Chicken Shish Kebabs served with jasmine rice with orzo. Be sure to plan a visit to these Port Washington homes for sale while you're in the area.

  • Besito Mexican - 1516 Old Northern Blvd., Roslyn, NY 11576
    Pets are welcome outdoors all summer long at Besito Mexican, conveniently located near these Roslyn homes for sale. Enjoy a Carne Asada Quesadilla or Roasted Vegetable Quesadilla, or try the Shrimp Empanadas. All entrees are served with house rice and beans, and chips and salsa are always available for the table.

  • Eisenhower Park Dog Run - 576 Salisbury Park Drive, Westbury, NY 11590
    Your pup will probably want to run off some energy after your meal at one of these great Long Island restaurants. We suggest Eisenhower Park Dog Run near these Westbury homes for sale. Dogs can run free at this outdoor, off-leash area covering about 1.5 acres. The park also has designated areas for small and large dogs and includes water stations.

Whether you spend it visiting a brewery or walking around a park, we hope you enjoy National Dog Day! Contact us if you and your pup are still looking for a home on Long Island.
