Possible Change in Venue
All / Poeyman,
The Roberts dog run is a little small....There is a fantastic dog run on 51st & FDR (Beekman Place). The run is rather large and has trees / dirt, fresh running water & plenty of shade as well.
I just thought I would offer the suggestion as I frequent the run with my boy Rudy....Any thoughts. If you check out Urbandhound.com they should have a review of the runs around mid-town east.
All The Best
