Gary Lalibert\u00e9, owner of City Dog, located at 550 Park Blvd. in the East Village, has organized “yappy hours,” social hours for people and their canine companions, at downtown locations for several years. He feels they have a natural life-span, and as one yappy hour disappears, another fresh venue emerges offering human-canine gatherings. Currently, he\u2019s organizing monthly events at the Indigo Hotel downtown and Porto Vista Hotel in Little Italy. Visit his website at www.citydogsd.com or call (619) 269-0201 for the latest information on City Dog-organized yappy hours and other events. Here\u2019s a sampling of current yappy hours.
