Dog & Co. Happy Hour and Haunted House

Not exactly food related, but definitely a treat for the eyes. On Oct. 31, Doc & Co. is hosting a happy hour for dogs and their owners. So if you have a dog, head on over to their flagship store at Turnstyle NYC for free doggy treats, a haunted house photo op, and for the doggy parents, complimentary beer, wine, and Halloween candy. If you don’t have a dog, well, I’m sure no one would question it if you just happened to drop by. 

This Halloween, it seems like there’s no better way to celebrate than with a pumpkin ice cream cone and an apple cider (and I don’t hate it). Have a safe and happy Halloween!
