Whether big and husky or tiny and mighty, I can guarantee that one of your dog’s favorite places to be in Centre County is downtown State College. Walks downtown are even better when the hustle and bustle of students dull for Spring Break and the sidewalks burst open to accommodate long leashes and low snouts. There’s nothing happier than a doggo sniffing new smells, and with our wide array of delectable food aromas, walking the downtown beat can easily be your cuddly canine’s favorite treat.
Welcoming all dogs with open arms, Cafe 210 and Doggie’s Pub are renowned for their volume of outdoor seating, making them some of the best restaurants to treat both you and your favorite puppy to a meal. You and the doggo will quickly bond over some well-deserved food and drinks while watching passing friends on the street. If you’ve got an upbeat furry friend, you can even visit Yallah Taco in McAllister Alley to revel in the tunes echoing up and down the street.
To help work off the big meal, pop yourself up to Old Main, conveniently located directly across downtown State College, where the humongous grass lawn gives dogs of every size room to run and play. Whether tossing a frisbee or laying in the sun, the fun never ends, even when the downtown State College sidewalks do.
The most secret treat for the dog community is Webster’s Cafe and Bookstore, where you and your furry friend can visit for a quick book or settle down for some quiet reading. Webster’s can provide your best pup with a water dish for drinking, and they’ll appreciate that just as much as they’ll appreciate the strong scent of old books, good coffee, and creature comforts.
After a huge day pawing through downtown State College, all the good boys and girls deserve nothing better than a plush friend to commemorate your doggy date. At Growing Tree Toys, you can find the perfect toy to reward your well-behaved canine companion with a brand-new fur baby of their own.
Life’s always better with our dogs by our side, so don’t forget to reward them with the perfect downtown date this Spring Break. Downtown State College can’t wait to greet everyone’s favorite furry family member to usher in the splendid Spring weather.
