Dog cafe Boris & Horton is now under new ownership and will have a grand reopening to celebrate
Good news for dog owners and fans of Boris & Horton—the dog-friendly East Village cafe has a new owner, meaning it’ll be open indefinitely.
On Thursday, the shop, which has been closed since November, posted about the handover to a former Boris & Horton customer-turned-owner-operator named Carol Krakowski and the new CEO or “Chief Ears Officer,” Krakowski’s rescue dog from Hearts & Bones, Baja.
“As a former customer, I know how much the community loves Boris & Horton, and I’m excited to continue fostering that sense of community while bringing new energy to the business,” Krakowski tells Time Out New York.

In her post, Krakowski says Boris & Horton will be the “same great space & brand,” with a community-focused vibe. Since 2018, the cafe has been a fun gathering place for dogs and their humans as well as a venue for community events, including the Must Love Dogs comedy show.
A grand reopening date is not yet set, but stay tuned on its socials for an announcement.
In November, co-owner Logan Mikhly, who co-owned Boris & Horton with her father, Coppy Holzman, announced they’d be closing the cafe even though they successfully raised money earlier that year and introduced a new membership plan, which ultimately wasn’t enough to save the business. Fortunately, they found a new buyer in Krakowski.
Now that’s something to bark about!
