One of the best parts about living in the city is the plethora of dog friendly outdoor dining options. Sadly until recently there has been none in our neighborhood, we live in Jersey City a suburb of Manhattan and our section is not the most glamorous or trendy to say the least. Happily, a restaurant opened about a year ago that is very tasty and dog friendly. Honey Bakery, its just a few blocks from our house and sells delicious Russian food and some Korean treats as well. Here is a link to an article about the restaurant. We first discovered it during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy when they were one of the few places able to make coffee. They were so nice about giving us a cup on the house. I've decided to make a commitment to go more often as its so important to support local businesses. Who wants all the neighborhood eateries, doggie boutiques, and book stores swallowed up by faceless conglomerate mega-chains not me (and those places are rarely dog friendly!).
That sandwich looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteOur little high street is called the village and it too has started to sport more unique stores and we too are pleased as we don't want faceless mega chains either. We just have a butcher opened last week and they are very busy. Yeppee. Have s wonderful Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Totally agree, we too like to support local businesses where possible. Your bakery looks like a great wee place.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Nice article. We love to support local business. Hope your breakfast was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I am make a big effort this year to shop locally and know where my stuff comes from.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more, my husband loves a bargain (well who doesn't?) and I'm always saying it's worth a couple bucks to support the locally owned businesses.
ReplyDeleteOUrs mom tries to do that at home also...stella rose
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to dine with pugs. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove,

We find family-owned establishments to have the best customer service! And if they helped the community during a rough patch, I would definitely patron their restaurant!
ReplyDeleteLooks like someone has a keen interest in your sandwich! Glad you got a nice dog-friendly restaurant where you live.

I am such a big supporter of local business and was saddened recently when. after 6 years, one of my favorites had to close...it's tough being an independent in this age of the megachain...And only in NY (or thereabouts) can you find a Russian Korean hybrid restaurant...Love that about the City...I used to frequent the Chinese Cuban dives on the Upper West Side
ReplyDeleteWe try to shop local when we can. We want our favorite local businesses to stay in business!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely go local!
ReplyDeletePawesome post; the 2nd to last photo is priceless.
Dog friendly? What a wonderful place. And we support supporting local businesses. Good for you.
