Did You Hear?! New York Has a Dog-Friendly Cafe and Community Space! Boris & Horton was created to provide New Yorkers with an amazing café and community space to enjoy alongside our four-legged friends. Whether you own a dog or just like being around them, Boris & Horton is the place to be. No wonder they call us the happiest place on earth!
Boris & Horton is New York’s first Department of Health approved dog-friendly café where customers are welcome to bring their own dogs inside. In addition to serving great coffee, beer, wine and snacks, Boris & Horton also hosts adoption events and fundraisers with the hope that many dogs find their forever homes here.
Boris
Boris was born in Puerto Rico and was found roaming the beaches of our sunny neighbor to the south. He was rescued by DCluckydog in the summer of 2016 and has been a loving member of the family ever since. He is a very unique looking pit bull terrier mix with shaggy hair and he really knows how to rock a bandana.
Horton
Horton hails from Houston which is actually his given name. He is a 12 pound mystery breed with a ton of personality and an adorable snaggle tooth. He’s also a shameless food begger and his favorite treat is string cheese.
Coppy Holzman
Coppy is the CEO and co-founder of Boris & Horton. He founded Charitybuzz, the leading online charity auction site, which raised hundreds of millions of dollars in partnership with top celebrities and nonprofits all over the globe. He is considered an expert in upscale cause marketing. Prior to Charitybuzz he co-founded Webvan which pioneered online grocery ordering and delivery. He is President of Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation and is a member of the RFK Human Rights Leadership Council.
Coppy drinks at least one pot of black coffee each day- before noon.
Logan Mikhly
Logan is the co-founder of Boris & Horton. Among her many roles, Logan manages the cafe calendar including adoptions, fundraisers, and a rotating roster of community events. Prior to New York Logan lived in New Orleans and managed operations for Used Dogs, a no-kill dog rescue. During her time at Used Dogs, Logan doubled the yearly adoption rates and assisted with community surrender intervention programs.
Logan serves on the board of Muddy Paws Rescue and lives in Williamsburg with her husband and rescue animals.
Brian Green
Brian is COO of Boris & Horton. An avid animal enthusiast, Brian grew up wanting to be the next Steve Irwin until he discovered his passion for business. Brian received his MBA from the Chicago Booth School of Business and became CEO of Vet-Tab, a company dedicated to helping diabetic dogs manage their glucose levels using saliva instead of painful blood pricks. He has now brought his passion and skillset to NYC to help B&H grow its operations!
When not at the café, you can find Brian around East Village relaxing with his cat Zelda and 20-year-old gecko Judith.
Angelic Samuel
Angelic has been a barista for about 10 years, and prides herself in providing the best possible experience for customers and employees. When she is not whipping up beautiful latte art and chatting it up with our regulars, she is spinning fire, learning some new random skill, or performing in front of crowds of people. Even with all of her coffee experience, she prefers to drink tea and will only drink coffee in emergencies. Boris & Horton is her home away from home, and she is excited to see it grow and prosper.
