The Grey Dog is one of those West Village spots that's been around long enough to actually earn its reputation. The Carmine Street location is relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely good about dogs , Monty will be fine. The food menu is solid too (sandwiches, salads, avocado toast). This is the spot for a longer lunch break, a team offsite coffee, or just a proper slow morning. The name alone earns a visit.
