"This North Beach stretch near 81st Street is known for allowing dogs off-leash on weekends: Friday through Sunday, dogs are welcome to play off-leash for a couple hours in the morning and a big chunk of the afternoon. If you're traveling with your furry family member(s) on a weekday, be advised that designated dog time is between 7 and 9 a.m. November through March or 9 and 11 a.m. April through October." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
