Some 30,000 dog-loving visitors attend this annual show which has become one of the top attractions in New York City each year in early February. Thousands of journalists flock to the city as well to cover America's Dog Show. Sporting, hound, working, terrier, toy, non-sporting, and herding categories are all represented here and the photo opportunities for visitors to this event are priceless.
The Hotel Pennsylvania, which you can book right here & right now is situated directly across the street from the Garden, is a magnet for exhibitors and spectators. A large lower-level conference room, an indoor bio-break facility for dogs is created out of heavy-duty plastic and woodchips, is particularly popular. The media like it too—for a different reason, of course—they are looking to shoot photos and videos and there's usually a major in paparazzi down there. These accommodations for Westminster entries made the Hotel Pennsylvania The Travel Channel's "#1 Bathroom for 2005." There is also a dog-bathing facility that can be reserved for around $35 an hour.
