Where you can dine out with your dog

Farm-to-bowl biscuits, anyone?

A "Dining with Dogs" bill signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week permits customers to take their pet dogs into outdoor dining areas of restaurants that wish to provide this service, as long as the restaurant can ensure that there will be no contamination of food and tainted utensils or equipment. Dogs must be leashed, and any establishment can choose not to allow pets.

Several restaurants in Westchester and Rockland already allow dogs to join their owners for an outdoor meal, including Bridge View Tavern in Sleepy Hollow, which plans to launch a dog-friendly beer garden in the next few months. Owner Chris Maceyak says pet dogs are among the regulars — especially on sunny weekends — and it's never been a problem for the restaurant's pet-free guests. (See a list below)

"We have no issues, we're dog-friendly here," Maceyak says, adding that the guests who choose to sit outside are typically very relaxed. "Generally, the rules for dogs are the same for people or kids: If any of those living creatures are being uncooperative or difficult, we speak to them."

At Tramonto in Hawthorne, owner Delia DiPietro used to allow dogs but changed the policy after other customers complained.

"We have a lot of wonderful customers, and some feel that dogs don't belong in restaurants," she says. "If customers come with a dog that has to stay in the car, we'll give them a seat near the window so they can watch him and make sure all is OK."

Under the new law, restaurant employees are prohibited from having direct contact with dogs while on duty, and a separate outdoor entrance is required so pets do not pass through the establishment to reach the outdoor area. The outdoor dining area must also be a space not used for food or drink preparation, or utensil storage.
