A WEEK TO CELEBRATE EATING OUT WITH YOUR DOG
SEPTEMBER 16th – 23rd, 2011
Introducing Dog Restaurant Week, a
week-long celebration of dining out with your dog. Dog-friendly
restaurants, coffee shops and bars all over the US are offering discounts and
treats to people who bring their dog along with them to eat during Dog
Restaurant Week.
Dog Restaurant Week gives
people a chance to celebrate eating out with their dogs and encourages people to
bring their dogs along, rather than leave them home
alone.
Dog Restaurant Week provides
a list of restaurants throughout the United States that are guaranteed to be
dog-friendly during that week. Currently there are 28 restaurants
participating in Dog Restaurant Week, and that number is quickly growing. Many
Dog Restaurant Week restaurants are offering special deals for people who bring
their dogs along. Jefferson Tavern for example, a restaurant in Chicago, is
offering 20% off the entire bill for anyone who brings their dog along with them
during that week.
Dog Restaurant Week is
sponsored by EddieEatsOut.com, a website that lists
dog-friendly restaurants in 28 states and allows users to write reviews of the
restaurants. The site is named after Eddie, an NYC-based dog who
is a self-proclaimed restaurant connoisseur and has reviewed restaurants all
over New York City, New Hampshire and Maine.
Currently, the laws for
bringing dogs into restaurants vary by state, so it is not always clear to
people whether or not they can bring their dogs along. EddieEatsOut.com gives the inside scoop
on dog-friendly restaurants by listing whether the dogs are allowed inside, or
if they must stay outside on a patio or deck, and rates the restaurants based on
four criteria: Service, Food, Waterbowl and an Overall
rating. Restaurants are rated on a scale of 1 – 5 “Paws”, with “5
Paws” being the best.
Happiness, $25 and under.
WOOF! WOOF!
