Stern and Bow Hosts Annual “Bone Appétit” – Outdoor Dining Event for Dogs and Their Humans

Stern and Bow in Closter has announced the return of its popular Bone Appétit event, an outdoor dining experience where dogs and their owners can enjoy a fun-filled weekend together. Taking place from Friday, May 30 through Sunday, June 1, 2025, the event invites dog lovers to dine al fresco with their furry companions and enjoy gourmet treats, photo opportunities, and fun prizes.

For $35 per dog, pups will be treated to a chef-crafted, three-course meal made with wholesome, vet-approved ingredients. While dogs dine, their humans can enjoy Stern and Bow’s full lunch, dinner, or brunch menus.

The event will also include a doggie kissing booth, in partnership with local grooming business Smooches for the Pooches of Haworth, NJ. A professional photographer will be on-site throughout the weekend to capture moments, and guests are encouraged to share their own photos on Instagram and tag @sternandbowrestaurant for a chance to win gift cards from both Stern and Bow and Smooches for the Pooches.

“We’re dog lovers ourselves and wanted to create something that celebrates the bond between people and their pets – with a delicious twist,” said Russell Stern, owner of Stern and Bow. “Last year, Bone Appétit was such a huge hit with the community; we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another memorable weekend.”
