[WATCH] Check Out New York City's First Dog-Cafe in Alphabet City

Boris & Horton is a new dog-cafe in Alphabet City on 12th and A that lets you drink coffee, tea, and other cafe beverages alongside your pup indoors. While there are many cat cafes throughout the City, Boris & Horton is the first DOH-approved dog cafe open to the public. Check it out in this short video from our friends at Time Out New York.

[Boris & Horton] is a feat of both canine and NYC licensing logistics. It has two parts that are Department of Health-approved: the sunny, humans-only side that could be a standalone café, where you pick up your coffee and hang out at a table (if you don’t want to abandon your furry pal outside, try the outdoor takeaway counter); and the dog-friendly side, where the humans can drink their just-bought coffee and sit with their four-legged friends at one of five tables. A cutesy shop inside also sells doggie-related clothing, knickknacks and pastries (Red-Velvet Pupcakes and Turmeric Bunny Peep Cake, among others).
