Moss Beach Distillery – Moss Beach, California

Moss  Beach Distillery has been a fixture on the Northern California coast since 1927.  Overall the food is so so, but If you want a good burger theirs is a 10 and big enough to easily split between two even if you are hungry.  Their back patio is famous for its great view of the Pacific Ocean and the tide pools below.  This area is very dog friendly, they have a big dog sign in the front that point you towards the back and doggie bags for any cleanup.  Fire pits and heavy blankets make this a perfect spot to relax for a romantic afternoon after a few hours walking on the beach.

For a bit of added fun the building is rumored to have a ghost.

Hog Island Oyster Company – Marshall, California

Lunch on the edge of Tamales Bay slurping down freshly harvested oysters with friends and the dogs is one step away from nirvana.  Hog Island Oyster Company is the place to get you there.  Don’t be fooled by the video below it was shot on a weekday early in the morning, usually its bustling with people.

Buy a bag of oysters on site, fire up the BBQ and your shucker for an amazing afternoon, but don’t forget to make reservations and bring some good wine.

The Yard at the SOHO Grand - New York, New York

The super dog friendly SOHO Grand offers an added benefit in the summer by turning its side alley into The Yard.  Although it is located in the SOHO district in New York City the atmosphere at The Yard is very LA. Every time we’ve gone it’s in the afternoon or happy hour time so it’s bustling, but not overcrowded.  Even during these times service was laid back (verging on slow).  When you sit at the bar the staff is super friendly and chatty.  With the teak furniture, canopies and chill service you start to feel like you should be sitting by a pool.  Drinks are expensive but well made, appetizers are the same.  I had the king crab leg 2x in one weekend and it was well worth the price and the wait.
