It's a dog's life in New York. Just think: thousands of acres of parkland, over 70,000 fire hydrants, hundreds of dog-friendly stores and hotels, and more than a million other dogs romping around. Whether you're taking a vacation with your four-legged friend or simply want to mix up your regular walking routine, this deck helps you navigate the most dog-friendly routes and attractions all five Burroughs have to offer. Each of the 50 cards outlines a self-guided on- or off-leash adventure, with a detailed map on one side and insider information on the other. From the city's best kept dog runs and little known swimming spots to its chic pet boutiques and quirky pet landmarks, these cards, and your dog's nose, will lead you to nooks of New York you never knew existed.
