New York City has many choices when it comes to dining out with your dog. Many restaurants have outdoor seating where dogs are welcome. Some establishments provide bowls of water just for the dogs, others provide a communal water bowl outside the restaurant. Only dogs that are well behaved in crowds are welcome, otherwise misbehaved dogs may force the restaurant to put a ban on all dogs. - The original Shake Shack in Madison Square Park welcomes dogs of all sizes to its stand. Known for its burgers and hot dogs, the Shake Shack uses local ingredients to make its own versions of American classics. The meat is ground every day and every patty is hand-formed. Being environmentally conscious, Shake Shack recycles its grease into biodiesel and only buys electricity from sustainable wind power. The Madison Square Park location opened in 2004. Shake Shack is also part of the Union Square Hospitality Group.
