A members-only club for dogs and their owners — that costs $1,350 a month — opened yesterday at 120 Duane Street, at Church Street, in Tribeca. Happy Tails features a cafe dog menu with items like rainbow cake ($60), PB&J mini-cakes ($30), dog wine with eye-roll names like “zinfantail” ($12.50) and dog-friendly macarons ($16). Food and drink for humans will launch at a later date. The 10,000 square-foot space features daycare — including themed rooms, and obstacle courses — and amenities like a shop, a trainer, and a dog therapist. The club has opened on the heels of the closing of multiple Boris & Horton locations that came with its own drama.
