I get why restaurants dont allow dogs. Mainly health code reasons.
The exception is service animals. Which are still animals.
You can obtain "service animal" papers for $50 online. Correct me if I am wrong, this extends to emotional support animals as well.
I have witnessed staff at restaurants (either exhausted from the exchange, or acting on ignorance) honor these papers/doctors orders
I get both sides of the argument. I could keep going on the legality and liability of why animals should, or should not be present in restaurants. Rules are rules, and so on. Most places arent complete dicks about walking your dog in for a cup of coffee or a sandwich. Some are. But the thing is, we all have a boss to answer to.
The thing is, however... The city is litterally infested with rodents. Chances are, some sort of animal has been in your local dining establishment. My personal feeling is, a dog passing through is the least of your worries.
P.S The north end has the worst rat problem in the entire city. Old construction, coupled with a strong concentration of food
