One of the things we love most about Annapolis is that your dog doesn't have to stay home to enjoy it.
From waterfront patios along Ego Alley to neighborhood favorites in Eastport and West Annapolis, there are plenty of places where the whole family is welcome. Tica has tested more than a few of them herself.
