The Standard Guide to Dogs in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami

Picture this: You land in New York, LA, or Miami, with your best pal in tow. Your best pal also happens to be your dog, and you travel together, naturally. You catch an Uber to The Standard and check in. You’re shown to your room where you slip into one of our very cozy robes and your dog curls up, oh so comfy, beside you. Ahhhhhh. What could be better? 

Well, some our favorite travel companions have four legs, a tail, and now, more money to throw around, because dogs now stay for free at The Standard. But that doesn’t mean Fido has to stay inside. Picture your pup strutting around the city streets, in the sharpest duds to boot, because we found the best workouts, psychics, night clubs, spas, and adventures calling you and your pup’s name in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.

GET OUTTA TOWN

Coral Castle Museum (1 hour from Miami)
Between the years 1923 and 1951, a man named Edward Leedskalnin secretly carved over 1,000 tons of coral rock, built numerous sculptures completely on his own, and he took the truth about how he did it to the grave. Dogs are welcome, so maybe your friend there can uncover the mystery.   
   
Fruit and Spice Park (1.5 hours from Miami)
Your dog will love sniffing around this park's nearly 40 acres of tropical botanical gardens that have 500 varieties of fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, and nuts.
