Introducing the Eddie Eats Out “DOG RESTAURANT WEEK”: A WEEK TO CELEBRATE EATING OUT WITH YOUR DOG

October 23 – 30, 2010

- Dog Restaurant Week is a week-long celebration of canine and human companionship by encouraging people to dine out with their dogs -

New York, NY (October 2010) – Introducing Dog Restaurant Week, a week-long celebration of dining out with your dog. Dog-friendly restaurants, coffee shops and bars all over the US are offering discounts and treats to people who bring their dog along with them to eat during Dog Restaurant Week.

“We (the team at Eddie Eats Out) enjoy eating out with our dogs so much that we wanted to share the experience with our readers,” said Jennifer Sunshine, the President of Eddie Eats Out. “This is why we created Dog Restaurant Week. I know so many people who want to bring their dogs out with them, but don’t know where to go.” Dog Restaurant Week provides a list of restaurants throughout the United States that are guaranteed to be dog-friendly during that week. Many of the restaurants are also offering special deals for people who bring their dogs along. Papis Texican Grill, for example, a restaurant just outside of Myrtle Beach, is offering 15% off the entire bill for anyone who brings their dog along with them during that week.

Jennifer’s website, EddieEatsOut.com, lists dog-friendly restaurants in 24 states and allows users to write reviews of the restaurants. The site is named after her dog, Eddie, who is a self-proclaimed restaurant connoisseur and has reviewed restaurants all over New York City, New Hampshire and Maine.

Currently, the laws for bringing dogs into restaurants vary by state, so it is not always clear to people whether or not they can bring their dogs along. EddieEatsOut.com gives the inside scoop on dog-friendly restaurants by listing whether the dogs are allowed inside, or if they must stay outside on a patio or deck, and rates the restaurants based on four criteria: Service, Food, Waterbowl and an Overall rating. Restaurants are rated on a scale of 1 – 5 “Paws”, with “5 Paws” being the best.

Dog Restaurant Week gives people a chance to celebrate eating out with their dogs and encourages people to bring their dogs along, rather than leave them home alone.
