Which New York neighborhoods work best with a dog?

Anywhere within a few blocks of Central Park makes life easier, which favours the Upper West Side, Columbus Circle and the hotels along Central Park South. Chelsea and the Meatpacking District give you Hudson River Park and its waterfront dog runs. The Flatiron and NoMad area sits beside Madison Square Park. Midtown and Times Square have the largest number of rooms but the least grass, and the crowds are stressful for many dogs. In Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Downtown Brooklyn offer newer hotels with larger rooms, and Long Island City in Queens is usually cheaper with waterfront parks nearby.

Where can I take my dog in New York?

Central Park lets dogs off-leash in most open areas from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and again from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., which is when the park fills with local dogs. Prospect Park in Brooklyn has similar off-leash hours on the Long Meadow and a small dog beach. Fenced dog runs are everywhere: Tompkins Square Park has the city's oldest, and Madison Square Park, Washington Square Park and the Hudson River Park piers all have well-used runs. Leashed dogs can walk the Brooklyn Bridge and the Hudson River Greenway, but the High Line does not allow dogs.

What should I know about transit, leashes and sidewalks?

New York's leash law sets a maximum length of six feet, and the pickup law is enforced. On the subway and buses, pets must be enclosed in a bag or carrier, which rules out large dogs in practice; yellow cabs can refuse dogs, so pet-friendly car services are the reliable option. Sidewalks are the daily reality: expect hot pavement in July, de-icing salt in winter and food scraps year-round. Most hotels have no outdoor space at all, so learn the route to the nearest park or curbside tree pit on your first day.

How do pet fees work at New York hotels?

New York is the most expensive city on this site for pet fees as well as rooms. Flat per-stay fees are standard in Manhattan, weight limits are common because rooms and elevators are small, and luxury hotels sometimes charge nightly. The exceptions are a handful of boutique brands that publish no-fee, no-size-limit policies, and those rooms go quickly. Hotels in Long Island City, Downtown Brooklyn and near the airports are cheaper and usually more flexible. Rates peak from September to December and drop sharply in January and February, when a pet fee is the largest proportion of the total.

How much do hotels in New York City charge for dogs?

Among the 24 hotels we list in New York City, the one published pet fee is $40 per night, at YOTEL New York Times Square. 23 hotels have not published an exact fee, so confirm at booking. Pet fees are paid to the hotel and are separate from the room total.

Which New York City hotels have no pet fee?

None of the hotels we currently list in New York City states a no-fee pet policy in its published hotel content. Chains that typically charge $0 for pets include Kimpton, Motel 6 and Red Roof Inn, but policies vary by property, so confirm with the hotel.

Can I leave my dog alone in a hotel room in New York City?

It depends on the hotel, and none of the New York City hotels we list publishes its unattended-pet rule in the content we receive. Many US hotels allow it only if the dog is crated and quiet. Ask before you book, leave a phone number at the desk, and keep absences to about 4 hours or less.

Which New York City hotels allow large dogs over 50 lb?

No New York City hotel we list publishes a weight limit of 50 lb or more in its hotel content. That does not mean large dogs are refused: most simply do not publish a limit. Contact the hotel before booking and get approval for your dog's weight in writing.

When can dogs be off-leash in Central Park?

Dogs may be off-leash in most open areas of Central Park from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. They must be leashed at all other times, and some areas, including playgrounds, ballfields and certain lawns, are closed to dogs entirely.

Can I take my dog on the New York subway?

MTA rules require pets on subways and buses to be enclosed in a bag or container and carried so they do not annoy other passengers. Service animals are exempt. For medium and large dogs, use pet-friendly car services or choose a hotel within walking distance of your plans.
