Visitors can indulge in both retail and pet therapy. Enjoy the warm spring air while going in and out of stores and grabbing a bite to eat. Shoppers can even take their pups over to Starbucks for a puppuccino. That may sound fancy and unsafe for your dog, but rest assured it’s just a cup of whipped cream. While it should not be consumed regularly, a treat now and then is something your dog will thank you for. Phone: 631-369-2732 | Address: 200 Tanger Mall Drive Click to go
Blue Point Brewing Company, Patchogue
This brewery lives up to the high Long Island standards. While the beer is certainly a factor, the real cherry on top is the pet-friendly atmosphere. Sip something seasonal like the Summer Ale or the crisp Honey Robber while brewers take a polaroid of your furry friend for their wall of fame. What’s not to love?
