  • Along the walk, various businesses supply dog treats and water bowls. Rudolph Adamo Salon always has a jar of Milk Bone treats.

Afternoon

  • Head over to Greenbush Village and reserve an outdoor table at Untold Brewery to enjoy a craft beer. The brewery recently redesigned their taproom and outdoor space to accommodate parties of four. The brewery and their staff love dogs and will supply you with a water bowl.

The brewery often has local food truck vendors as well as Board 143 grazing boxes available for purchase to enjoy with your favorite brew.
