Staying in NYC with two dogs
Anyone have recent experience staying in the city, or Brooklyn, with two large dogs? They are 50lb & 70lb - well behaved, etc. They will not be left alone at all, we're just looking for suggestions on people's hotel experiences.
Thank you in advance

bringfido.com has a hotel search engine that lets you filter by hotels that allow big dogs.
Assuming we aren't talking about real service animals (which can go anywhere):
Dogs can only go on NYC subways and buses if they are in a carrier. For taxis and ride-hail services it's at the individual driver's discretion. The health code prohibits pets from restaurants, although some restaurants with outdoor seating will let you keep your dog on the other side of the divider between the seating area and the public sidewalk. Most stores also prohibits pets, although there are a few that are pet friendly. I think most TD Bank locations have a water bowl and dog biscuits available, for example.

Kimpton Hotels has a very pet-friendly policy and three hotels in Manhattan: https://www.ihg.com/kimptonhotels/co...riendly-hotels
The IHG Forum will have threads on the Ink48, The Muse, and Eventi Hotel.

NYC is an incredibly dog friendly city. Many parks have dog runs (Tompkins Square Park, Washington Square Park and Madison Square Park have particularly good ones; Tompkins Square Park even has a small wading pool for dogs). Most restaurants with outdoor seating will let you tie up your dog. And notwithstanding the official rules, it’s not uncommon to see dogs on the subway without carriers.

Central Park also allows dogs off-leash in most parts of the park during certain hours:

How do you plan to organize the logistics so that the dogs are never left alone? Will you take all meals through room service or do you plan, for example, to take breakfast in shifts so that one person is with the dogs while the other is in the restaurant? NYC is dog friendly but they cannot go everywhere unless they're genuine service dogs.

It seems you can always find a bag to fit your dog for riding the NYC Subway
