Founders Robert Dorsey and Angeline Cornelia are on a mission to help Brooklynites find relaxation and pain relief BK Exotic sells an extensive selection of rare strains and is staffed by people (like Dorsey) who have been incarcerated for cannabis-related offenses. The shop offers delivery around the borough, including cannabis-infused nitro coffees and fast-acting herbal aphrodisiacs.
Inspired by a shared dream to normalize cannabis use and destigmatize formerly incarcerated people in NYC, the knowledgeable budtenders at CONBUD are all individuals who have been previously affected by unjust cannabis laws. The Black- and Latino-owned storefront has a wide selection of cannabis goods available for downtown Manhattan deliveries like pills that encourage extroverted happiness and a pain-relieving, nighttime tincture.
Channeling the aesthetic of a moody 20th century apothecary, Dagmar is SoHo’s luxe local dispensary. Alongside statues and within illuminated cabinets, the woman-owned business displays a high-end range of cannabis and accessories like gold-inlaid bongs and ashtrays. Dagmar delivers throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.
In partnership with the local dispensary The Travel Agency, Doobie is a reliable delivery choice for high-quality products. The delivery arm of the two downtown dispensaries offers more than 300 products to choose from like strawberry cheesecake-tasting chocolates and sour lime chews to terpene-infused pre rolls and indica-dominant flower.

In addition to cannabis, stylish lifestyle goods are available like glass blown lighters, ceramic bongs, and standing ashtrays. Gotham offers delivery across parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
The first woman-owned recreational dispensary in New York state, Good Grades was also the first legal dispensary to open in Queens. The shop’s mission, aside from selling high-quality products, is to provide an inclusive atmosphere, spread positive cannabis education, and inspire the community. Order the current class representative (budget-friendly strains beloved by the staff), which is a hybrid flower dubbed Apple Punch that combines flavors of grape and apple pastries. Delivery from Good Grades is available throughout neighborhoods in Queens.
Run by the Housing Works non-profit, which has supported the local unhoused and AIDS-affected communities since 1990, the Housing Works Cannabis Co. was the first legal recreational weed store in New York City.

The father-and-son duo behind Verdi, Mitchell and Ellis Soodak, opened the shop in the hopes of creating a welcoming, verdant atmosphere for cannabis users of all levels.

Prep for summer through high-energy products like caffeine-infused pills and THC-saturated coffee. Delivery from Verdi is available in Manhattan from 96th Street and below.
