Notable Picks
#1
Chez Nick
8.7
Opened in 2020 by chef-owners Bobby Little and Chad Urban, Chez Nick serves New American plates, cocktails, and brunch in a dimly lit neighborhood bistro that doubles as a dog-friendly hang. Outdoor tables and some indoor sections welcome pups, drawing locals who pair ricotta toast, lemongrass pork steak, or brunch dishes with a walk to nearby Carl Schurz Park. It’s one of the stronger date-night-meets-dog options in the eastern stretch of Yorkville.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lemongrass Pork Steak with Garlic Fried Rice, Ricotta Toast with Honey and Hazelnuts, Pan Seared Branzino
What Makes it Special: Chef-driven New American cooking with genuinely dog-friendly seating a block from Carl Schurz Park.
Worthy Picks
7.6
A neighborhood bakery with a dog-friendly outdoor setup that’s best for a quick pastry-and-coffee stop rather than a long sit. The move is to choose one standout pastry plus one savory item, then treat anything else as a take-home bonus.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pão de queijo, Bacon egg and cheese sandwich, Brigadeiro
What Makes it Special: Dog-friendly neighborhood bakery that’s strongest in pastry-and-coffee rhythm.
