However, there are some enterprising and enlightened eateries on the east coast who have figured out a way to circumvent this little legal glitch. My search began with an article in the New York Times. I put my trusty purrsonal assistant on the job and she found a very helpful and accommodating eatery called the Chelsea Lobster Company. The co-owner, Mark Orem explained that when weather permits, the street doors to the restaurant are opened and an outdoor caf area is created for two and four legged guests alike. And this place knows how to cater to pets.
Waiters are always vigilant and efficient in filling water bowls and water glasses.
Whether fur-coated or not, all guests are treated to the same excellent and friendly service. Although I was delighted to hear about this wonderful place I was a bit concerned that the only guests mentioned were of the canine variety. Mr. Orem assured me that The Chelsea Lobster Company was not anti-feline and any well behaved cat was welcome. I give the Chelsea Lobster Company an enthusiastic 2 paws up and I urge you humans out there not to wait until the weather warms. Visit them soon and mark your calendar for a warm weather day when you and your pet in residence can dine together al fresco.
