Back on the Topic of Manhatten Dog Runs....Below is the list of NYC Department of Park Runs. Yes the Washington Sq. Park on would be near NYU. I haven't visited that run, but the Union Sq. run not too far away is nice. It's not very large so I haven't seen many large dogs. Do to its fairly small size owners tend to keep a good eye on their dogs.
