New York’s Neue Galerie is a small but glorious museum specializing in German and Austrian art. The building itself — completed in 1914 by Carrère & Hastings for industrialist William Starr Miller — is an important part of New York’s architectural history, and the collection (and visiting shows) are superb.… Read the rest
Petside.com just published a list of the top ten off-leash dog parks in the U.S. The only information I have about their survey is their statement that “Petside looked at the size of the dog park, amenities and activities offered, hours of operation and the cost of entry,” but I point you to the list as a resource.… Read the rest

It’s easy but fairly pricey to take a taxi or limo in to NYC from JFK. If you want to save some money, AirTrain JFK will connect you with the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) or with New York’s subway or bus system for a fraction of the cost ($5 or less, depending on which MetroCard you use). … Read the rest
UrbanHound calls itself “the city dog’s ultimate survival guide,” and the site is a great resource for dogs living in New York, Chicago and San Francisco.
