Nothing beats chowing down with your furry baby at pet friendly restaurants! We spent the day exploring Williamsburg and it was the perfect NYC weekend plan. We started with a peaceful walk through Bushwick Inlet Park—great views, lots of space to sniff around, and plenty of dogs to say hi to. After that, we headed to one of the best pet-friendly restaurants nearby: a rooftop spot where pups are just as welcome as people. Good food, great views, and a happy tail.

Bushwick Inlet Park Moment You Don’t Want to Miss
Pet Friendly Restaurant in Williamsburg
eINICO is a Mexican food restaurant and bar nestled on the rooftop of the Penny Hotel. Even from a distance, you’ll spot a charming dog flag hanging out front, hinting at the welcoming vibe inside.
The restaurant is spacious and bursting with vibrant, Mexican-inspired décor. Inside and out, you’ll find a mix of dining tables and relaxed sofa seating, perfect for any vibe. But the real showstopper? The panoramic view of the New York City skyline. It’s hands down one of the best places to catch the sunset. Whether you’re planning a date night or a cozy get-together with friends and family, this spot sets the perfect scene.
What We Ordered
FORTUNE’S FOOL —This cocktail is a bold and tropical twist on a classic tequila base. The Layers of spiced pear and herbaceous hoja santa add an unexpected complexity, giving the drink a slightly earthy, aromatic edge.
Tempura Rock Shrimp, Quesabirria (beef) tacos and GRINGA AL PASTOR —- The Tempura Rock Shrimp is my favorite—perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. The beef is incredibly juicy too. One of the best maxian food I’ve ever eat so far.
Guac and chip — the flavor of chive oil mixed with Cilantro makes Guac so fresh
Tips for a Perfect Dog Day Out
1. Start Early with a Walk
Begin your day with a calm, scenic walk—places like Bushwick Inlet Park are great for morning energy. Avoid mid-day heat and let your pup sniff and explore before the crowds arrive.
2. Pack the Essentials
Bring a dog day bag:
Water & collapsible bowl
Poop bags
Treats/snacks
Wipes or towel (for muddy paws!)
A toy or chew for downtime
3. Choose Pet Friendly Restaurants
Plan a stop at a pet-friendly rooftop or café—ideally one with shade, outdoor seating, and a water bowl ready. Call ahead or check their pet policy online.
4. Treat Stop: Dog Bakery
Don’t forget to swing by a dog bakery to spoil your furry baby a little extra! Whether it’s an adorable new toy or some drool-worthy seasonal treats, a surprise always gets tails wagging. We especially recommend the one spot called District Dog near Williamsburg—it’s a must-stop for gourmet doggie desserts and pup-approved goodies!
5. Take Breaks & Capture the Moment
Dogs tire quickly. Plan for shady breaks or a blanket picnic. Bring your phone/camera to snap a few memories—your pup’s joy makes for great content!
6. Mind the Weather
Check the forecast. Hot pavement can burn paws, and sudden rain can ruin plans. If it’s too hot or cold, opt for indoor dog-friendly spots.
7. Respect Other Pets and People
Keep your dog leashed unless you’re in a designated off-leash area. Be mindful of other dogs’ energy and people who may not be dog lovers.
