Whether you need a little hair of the dog or a place to soak up the sun, it’s always better with a furry friend. Check out our favorite pet-friendly restaurants, watering holes, parks, and perks in NYC.

Chilling with your chow has never been so cool: Pets may not be able to sample wine or ice-cold European beers at the East Village watering hole, but they’re welcome to cozy up to the cushioned pews by the window for cat (or doggie) naps.

Von, 3 Bleecker Street, between Bowery and Elizabeth Street (212-473-3039 or vonbar.com).

The Williamsburg hangover haven is stocked with whiskey and rye drinks (for the good ol’ boys), Jim Beam Creams, and disturbingly addictive Frito pie lapped up by hungry late-night crews — just be sure to slip your best friend a few nibbles under the table.

The Levee, 212 Berry Street, at North Third Street, Williamsburg (theleveenyc.com).

With a glass ceiling and expansive concrete patio, the former auto shop is a pup paradise. Of course, there’s plenty for humans to wag about, too, including $6 microbrews and a stash of classic board games.

Mission Dolores, 249 Fourth Avenue, between President and Carroll Streets, Park Slope (347-457-5606 or missiondoloresbar.com).

You’ve been working like a dog and are in desperate need of a fuss-free scene. A cozy Gowanus drinking spot is just what the vet (er, doctor) ordered, with classic Americana decor, a well-curated jukebox, and outdoor grilling area.

Canal Bar, 270 Third Avenue, between Union and President Streets, Gowanus (718-246-0011 or canalbar.com).

The dimly lit Chelsea bar has serious cocktails but a mellow atmosphere (dark wood paneling and giant hanging mirrors). The stools may be too high for your pup to climb on, but he’s sure to enjoy earnest pats on the head from friendly staffers.

Black Door, 127 West 26th Street, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues (212-645-0215).

Summer is sweltering enough in cut-off shorts let alone a fur coat. Boiling fuzz balls cool off at New York’s only dog beach, deep inside Prospect Park. Just don’t forget to pack a towel (try getting a cabbie to stop for a dripping-wet hound).

Prospect Park, enter on 9th Street, at Prospect Park West, Park Slope. For more information, go to fidobrooklyn.org.

Both canine and human tongues pant over the Chinatown eatery’s slow-braised lamb shank and sauteed tiger shrimp enjoyed on the sidewalk patio. Trust us: There won’t be anything left over for a doggie bag.

Les Enfants Terribles, 37 Canal Street, at Ludlow Street (212-777-7518 or lesenfantsterriblesnyc.com).

If you give a dog a bone from the bakery’s bicycle, he’s going to want, well, a whole lot more. New York pups love gourmet flavors like PB&J, truffle mac and cheese, and even lobster roll. We won’t tell if you sneak a taste yourself.

Bocce’s Bakery Biscuit Bike, at NYC dog parks (@boccesbakery or boccesbakery.com).

Cats and canines can hang on the shady sidewalk patio at the giant converted taxi garage. Cross West Side Highway to play at the park once you’ve stuffed yourself with brunch.

The Park, 118 Tenth Avenue, between 17th and 18th Streets (212-352-3313 or theparknyc.com).

Sometimes the best bonding activity is doing nothing at all. Entire afternoons have been known to disappear on the porch of the Soho pastry and coffee shop, where pets laze in the sun with their scone-munching, latte-sipping owners.

Once upon a Tart, 135 Sullivan Street, between Houston and Prince Streets (212-387-8869 or onceuponatart.com).

There’s nothing quite like scouring flea markets with your very own flea bag. NYC bazaars like the Brooklyn Flea and Hester Street Fair allow leashed companions on the grounds (and vendors, we’ve noticed, stash terrific snacks). Your loyal hound may even be able to sniff out a few deals.

Click through to see our favorite markets.

Hold the kibble: Nonhuman customers enjoy the doggie menu at the Madison Square burger mecca. Adventurous pups relish the Pooch-ini — a “chilly treat for those with four feet” — or a bag of Bocce Bakery bones.

Shake Shack, East 23rd Street, between Madison and Fifth Avenues (212-889-6600 or shakeshack.com).

Give Bowser a taste of old New York with a horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park. Of course, if all that nostalgia goes over his head, you can always disembark for a vigorous pigeon-chasing session in Sheep Meadow.

Central Park Horse & Carriage Tours, Central Park South, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues (347-868-7692 or centralpark.com).

High art gets down and dirty at the quirky Queens park, where visitors toss Frisbees for their pups and take in the latest from contemporary artists like Natalie Jeremijenko and Mary Miss.

Socrates Sculpture Park, 32-01 Vernon Boulevard, at Broadway, Long Island City (718-956-1819 or socratessculpturepark.org).

If sipping USDA-certified organic smoothies is your favorite summer pastime, invite your furry pal along for some fun in the sun on the patio of this Brooklyn Heights joint.

Siggy’s Good Food, 76 Henry Street, between Orange and Pineapple Streets, Brooklyn Heights (718-237-3199 or siggysgoodfood.com).

Pets are treated like family members at the doggie-themed diner, which welcomes well-behaved pups on the deck. Chow on comfort foods like shepherd’s pie while Barney wets his whistle at the dog-height fountain. We give four paws way up.

Barking Dog, 150 East 34th Street, between Third and Lexington Avenues (212-871-3900).
