Bay Ridge Restaurants With Outdoor Seating That Allow Dogs

I don’t know of any restaurant in Bay Ridge that allows dogs to dine inside with their owners. Only service dogs are allowed inside of restaurants. It’s a NYC health code violation. (See here)

We have seen well-behaved dogs sitting next to their owner’s chair at these outdoor places:

1) Saravá – The Modern Bistro at 6819 3rd Avenue has an outdoor dog-friendly area in the back

2) Brooklyn Fireflys Outdoor Cafe at 7003 3rd Avenue

3) Brooklyn Brew at 310 – 79th Street has outdoor seating and water bowl for dogs.

4) Caffe Cafe Coffee Shop at 84013rd Avenue.

5) BurgerFi at 719 – 86th Street has water bowls outside for dogs

6) Cebu Restaurant’s outside cafe at 8801 – 3rd Avenue

7) Paneantico 9124 3rd Avenue – they will bring a dog sitting outside a water bowl.

8) Rocco’s Pasticceria at 9402 – 4th Avenue has outside seating

Other Areas of Brooklyn:

1) Duet Restaurant at 6181 Strickland Avenue in Mill Basin has a doggie menu and outdoor seating.

Mailbox Outside of 11228 Post Office Has Glue


A kind neighbor shared that there is glue in the slot of the mailbox outside of the post office at 8320 13th Avenue (the 11228 Post Office)

All reactions:


This has happened before in Dyker Heights. Mail thieves are trying to trap envelopes with checks so they can use chemicals to remove your name and then get money from your account.

Deposit your mail inside the post office or use another box that isn’t sticky!

APS Installed on 3rd Ave/96th St. & 86th & Ridge

Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) have been installed on the corners of 3rd Avenue and 96th Street (same block as Met grocery store). These are being installed all over NYC – see here.

The ASP devices communicate WALK and DON’T WALK to pedestrians who are blind or are visually impaired (they beep). Ron shared the above photo.

APS have been installed at 86th Street and Ridge Blvd as well. This morning.

Also seen in the photo are the red studded plates which were installed at intersections, which are also to help visually-impaired residents.

Pleonexia – The School at Nathan’s on 86th Street

Here’s the middle school that’s being built in Nathan’s former location on 86th Street in Bay Ridge. (School info) It’s expected to open in September 2024.

We named it Pleonexia (meaning greed in Greek).

You asked me how to pronounce Pleonexia:

Next to the school is Avid Hotel, which is set to open in this Fall. (Info about the hotel)
