Getting there
The New Yorker Hotel is at 481 8th Ave, New York, NY, across from Madison Square Garden and a short walk from Penn Station. The nearest airports are LaGuardia (LGA), JFK, and Newark (EWR). Verified 2027
Lodging
The shows are held inside the hotel itself — The New Yorker (Wyndham). Book early for Westminster week; hotel room blocks for the dog show are pending. Pending
What is the table show?
Instead of a convention-center floor, the Progressive shows are held in a Manhattan hotel ballroom, with Toy breeds examined on tables — the traditional format, and a rare chance to watch top Toy dogs up close in an elegant room rather than a cavernous hall. It runs the weekend before Westminster, so many of the same Toy exhibitors and judges are already in New York. Westminster’s 151st show follows January 30–February 2.
