Have you been enjoying New York Restaurant Week? Has your pet dog been enjoying it?

If the second question strikes you as silly, be advised that this coming weekend, CESAR Canine Cuisine is joining hands (paws?) with five of the city’s best pet-friendly eateries to host the first ever Dog Restaurant Weekend (aka CESAR Restaurant Weekend).

Today (Aug. 16) and tomorrow, pet parents can treat their four-legged charges and themselves to a curated experience. You read that right: You will be dining along with Fido.

Dogs will chow down on a unique menu that includes CESAR Mini-Pouch, CESAR WHOLESOME BOWLS, and CESAR SIMPLY CRAFTED. Their humans will dine on the people equivalent of the foods the dogs are served. For example, if your pooch dines on CESAR Mini-Pouch Filet Mignon Flavor, you will eat steak.

Meals come with perks for diners and their dogs — from tableside belly rubs (wear loose-fitting clothing just in case) to doggy bags of swag including bandanas, food bowls, and more — ensuring that our furry friends are spoiled from the moment they arrive.
