The neighborhood of Yorkville in upper Manhattan has a rich and diverse history spanning centuries. From a community of immigrants to one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Manhattan, this area is a go-to spot for New York residents and tourists. Filled with culture and beautiful architecture, a stroll down the street with your four-footed companion can be a treat all its own.
Many of the streets are packed with small shops, restaurants, and galleries for you to peruse in the windows while your dog smells the “sights” of this busy little neighborhood. But Yorkville is not all just about the concrete jungle. Many of the sidewalks have trees for your dog to sniff around and enjoy a bit of shade. Just a couple of blocks to the southeast is a large riverside park with a walking trail that continues along the water. Being the pet-friendly area that Yorkville is, there are several veterinarians, grooming shops and pet stores nearby. You will never have to go far for Fido’s favorite treat.
New York weather typically has all the extremes: hot and humid in the summer and plenty of precipitation in the form of snow or rain in the winter as well as cold temperatures. But there are also plenty of beautiful days to enjoy a stroll along the riverside or at the park.
