Here’s an update to the story below! Boris & Horton met its Go Fund Me goal of $250,000! That means the beloved dog-friendly cafes in the East Village and Williamsburg won’t be closing. I’m sure the owners are thrilled by all the support they got.
There’s still a chance that Boris & Horton won’t close at the end of the month!
As Time Out reports: “Within hours of the sad news, thousands of supporters shared their desire to help keep the East Village or Williamsburg dog cafes open, one of few indoor spaces New York City dogs can play off-leash.”
New York City publicist Amanda Gerzog and die-hard Boris & Horton patron created a GoFundMe to help support the cafe. It looks like she’s raised about $20,000.
Boris & Horton has also set up a donation page. As of Sunday morning the fund had about $140,000 in it. They are trying to raise $250,000.
