New York runs on dog energy. Pre-9am off-leash hours in the parks, a building culture where the dog often signs the lease, and more dog-centric businesses per square mile than almost anywhere on earth. The trade-off is logistics: heat that radiates off the sidewalk, breed and weight rules that vary by building and railroad, and summer subway restrictions. This is the Doggo team’s working guide to doing NYC right with a dog.
