The New York City restaurant Dog & Bone’s name is inspired by an English Bulldog named Winston. Dog & Bone’s namesake additionally comes out of the Cockney rhyming slang for the word phone. The restaurant lives up to their slogan of “sit, stay, eat,” and encourages diners to linger and converse like they once did over a landline. The restaurant cooks up some of the best British food in New York. It’s also a fantastic place to watch a soccer game.
