Who let the dogs in: Expanded Boris & Horton debuts on Avenue A
Boris & Horton, the dog friendly cafe, opened its expanded space yesterday at 195 Avenue A between 12th Street and 13th Street...
There's now more space for pups and their parents...
As previously noted, daughter-father co-owners Logan Mikhly and Coppy Holzman created three separate areas in the cafe, including an indoor seating area where dogs can go but food cannot be ordered, and a cafe separated by plexiglass where dogs are forbidden per Department of Health rules.
Boris & Horton opened on Feb. 2.
No. 195 was Gabay's Outlet until the end of 2017.

Last splash
The Tompkins Square Park mini pool closes for the season tomorrow (Labor Day!). All the city's outdoor pools close on Sept. 9.
I posted the top photo on Instagram, where several people said that they were unaware there was a pool in Tompkins Square Park. (It's reserved for kids and their parents/guardians.)
It's right by the basketball courts...
The pool has been there for as long as I can remember. It's open from 11 a.m. through 7 p.m. daily, with a break for pool cleaning between 3-4 p.m.
[Updated] Suspect sought for sexual assault in 13th Street building
Here is part of a report via ABC 7 this morning:
Police say around 11:15 Saturday night the attacker struck up a conversation with a 46-year-old woman inside the laundry room of a building on East 13th Street.
He persuaded the victim to follow him outside the laundry room where he then grabbed her by the arm and neck.
According to police, the victim resisted and fell to the ground, at which time the man covered her mouth and attempted to remove her clothing.
She continued to struggle as he sexually assaulted her, but the man fled the scene when the woman screamed.
PIX 11 reported that the attack happened yesterday at 11:15 a.m.
The victim was reportedly treated and released from Bellevue.
Updated 1:25 p.m.
The Daily News has more details. The attack occurred inside Tanya Towers, which provides housing to low-income residents who are deaf, blind or have other disabilities.
Per the News:
Cops say he is a familiar face to Tanya Towers tenants but could not immediately clarify whether Mendez lived or worked there. He appears to be wearing hearing aids in both ears in the photo released by cops.
Updated 9/4
Patch reports that the NYPD has arrested Mendez.
Per Patch:
Police said Mendez has four prior arrests, including for rape and attempted murder.
He was charged with attempted rape, sexual abuse, criminal obstruction of breathing, assault and menacing for the Saturday attack, officials said.
Anyone with information that could help in the investigation is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). You may also submit tips online.

About the Official Animal Rights March, which ends in Tompkins Square Park
The Official Animal Rights March is today ... starting at 1 p.m. on 23rd and Broadway.
The March ends on 10th Street and Avenue A ... which is why the barricades are along Avenue A ...
This will have an impact on M14A and M8 bus service today...
As for the March, here are details via Facebook:
JOIN US FOR THE LARGEST AND LOUDEST ANIMAL RIGHTS MARCH IN AMERICA.
We will meet at the Flatiron Building at Noon. Guest speakers will begin at around 1 pm.
Event Host: Bob Ingersoll - Project Nim
Speakers:
Anita Krajnc - Founder of The Save Movement
Dan Mathews - Senior Vice President of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
Tal Gilboa - Co-founder of Glass Walls and Total Liberation Israel
The Official Animal Rights March is an annual vegan march founded by UK animal rights organization Surge. The march began in London in 2016 with 2,500 vegans and in 2017 the march doubled to 5,000 vegans marching for animal liberation through London. In 2018 we’re bringing The Official Animal Rights March to New York once again to spread the message of animal liberation across the globe.
And here's the route...
Start at 23rd St. and Broadway.
Walk south on Broadway to Union Square.
Stay west of Union Square until 14th Street.
Cross 14th Street and follow University Place until 8th Street.
Turn left (east) and follow 8th Street and St. Mark’s Place until Tompkins Square Park.
Turn left on Avenue A and then right on East 10th Street, the end of the route.
Not sure why the map shows this ending at 315 E. 10th St. ...
Anyway, the March starts at 3 p.m. on 23rd and Broadway.
