There’s no better way to celebrate any occasion than with adorable puppies, and national dog day in New York City is no exception. On Wednesday, Park Terrace Hotel’s beautiful scenic rooftop was transformed into the ultimate puppy play pad as the hotel hosted its “Bark Terrace Puppy Latte” launch. With its stunning view of Bryant Park, the rooftop itself is perfect on its own, but with the addition of the puppies from PupStarz Rescue, it truly was the most amazing morning.
PupStarz Rescue is an animal welfare group committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs and cats in public shelters at high risk of euthanasia, as well as those in danger of abuse. The organization is committed to rescuing as many animals as possible, saving over 3,100 dogs and cats since 2015.

As it’s currently the US open in New York, it only made sense to share the puppy love with some Tennis sensations. Belinda Bencic and Alex de Minaur attended the launch event, and as both huge fans of dogs and coffee, the Gold Olympic medalist and Top Seeded player were the perfect additions to the morning. They’re staying at the hotel during the heated completion, and Park Terrace’s luxury amenities are ideal for them to unwind before heading to the courts for the ultimate game.
The beautiful Terrazzo lounge will give you the perfect titular view of New York City, with stunning Bryant Park views on one side and the Empire State Building on the other. Guests can enjoy a rich Italian-roasted espresso or your afternoon pick-me-up cup of tea from the fabulous coffee bar menu featuring La Colombe.
Finally, the event celebrated all things coffee by teaching guests how to make their very own puppy latte art, and even included a competition!
In the evening, the hotel held a cocktail party at the Terrazzo Lounge with Alex and Belinda that showcased the new space and kicked off Park Terrace’s US Open viewing parties held daily at Terrazzo. Guests enjoyed wines from Catena Zapata and cocktails from their official US Open Cocktail menu, created specifically for the viewing parties. These included the cleverly named Game-Set-Match (Kilbeggan Whiskey with Ginger Beer topped off with Lime Juice), Pimms Cup (Traditional British Pimms Cup with Cucumber and Mint Garnish), Courtside (Hudson Bourbon with Antica Aged Sweet Vermouth and Seasoned Orange Bitters) and Match Point (Ketel One Vodka with St. Germain Elderflower, muddled Strawberry with Lime Juice and a Spritz of Soda).
