Homer’s Dog Run, Inwood Hill Park
A to 207th St–Inwood
Enter at W 207th St
Situated within a superdiverse community, the melting pot of Inwood Hill is where musicians, artists, yuppies, college kids and those who have lived here for more than a decade all flock to with their equally diverse dogs. Zaida, a Puerto Rican 36-year-old, is soon getting married in the park to Daniel, 30, an Italian real-estate agent. Zaida and her goldendoodle, Hunter, met Daniel and his Boston terrier, Charley, at Homer’s. “Daniel and I had been dog-run friends for over three years,” she says. “One thing led to another, and six months later we were engaged!” In a run like this, it’s best to let your pups play matchmaker. You never know what kind of bone they’ll throw you.
