Eli was on time and very communicative leading up to the walk. Omar sometimes takes a minute to warm up to male walkers but he ran right out to Eli and was very relaxed. Great walker overall!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Long Island City

Hunters Point

This dog-friendly neighborhood is home to the Murray Playground Dog Run, part of the larger John F. Murray Playground. The dog park is an off-leash park, but your pal will need to be on a leash if he wants to explore outside the designated area. You’ll need to bring some drinking water and waste bags for cleaning up after your pup. If all that playing makes you hungry, stop by the LIC Bar, just a couple of blocks from the dog park. This Fido-friendly bar lets you enjoy live music and your favorite craft beer out on the patio.

Brooklyn

Brooklyn is famous the world over for its people and food, but it’s also very welcoming to dogs! There are a ton of Fido-friendly places to sleep, eat, and exercise here. Brower Park is a local favorite. It’s a quiet park that allows your leashed pal to play any time. You also won’t want to miss the dog-friendly beach on Gerritsen Avenue! Don’t forget to bring drinking water and waste bags to both locations, since they’re not provided. Afterward, head over to Bedford Cheeseshop, where your leashed, well-behaved pal is allowed to sample the cheeses, meats, and sandwiches with you!

Lloyd Harbor

This friendly neighborhood is located about 18 miles from Long Island City. If you’re looking to get in some exercise for you and your pooch, you should check out the Walt Whitman Trail. This is an easy hike that is about 4.25 miles and usually takes about 2 hours to complete. The trails are made of dirt, so no need to worry about your pup’s paws. You will need to watch out for horses and horse droppings, as the trails are also horse-friendly! You’ll need to bring some water and waste bags along. Practice good petiquette, and don’t allow your pup to harass the horses or any other wildlife that may call this trail home.

Bay Shore

This community is just 11 miles away from Long Island. If you’re looking to enjoy a day in nature and a scenic view, you need to visit the Gardiner County Park. Although you’ll find doggie waste bags scattered throughout the park, you will need to bring along water for your pooch and make sure they stay on their leash while you are here. This park has several dirt-covered trails for you and your leashed pup to explore, and the best part is they lead to the ocean! You’ll find a small shoreline which is a nice spot for your pup to splash in the water after a walk. You can see the lighthouse from here, so bring your camera and prepare for the pawfect day out!

Bohemia

The quaint community of Bohemia has a population of just over 10,000, and is also home to a couple of dog-friendly eateries that you and Fido are sure to go mutts for! At Glenn Wayne Bakery, you can enjoy a unique, fresh cake-flavored donut with your best pal at one of the outdoor tables. Looking for something a little more substantial? Head to Cooky’s, where you can peruse a vast menu full of all your favorites. Whether you’re craving breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Cooky’s will be more than happy to welcome you and your pal to dine together at one of four outdoor tales. Bone Appetit!
