The stoner's guide to New York City
Stoner NY is the stoner NYC guide for people who live here. Where the munchies are, which theaters still run real film, where you can actually sesh, and what every neighborhood is like after the second bowl. It sells nothing and answers to nobody. Just the city, block by block, for people who still take the train.

Get a chopped cheese from the bodega, pet the cat if the cat allows it, and eat it on the walk home.

The Bronx guideWhy Stoner NY
Because every other list of things to do in New York was written for someone with a hotel key card. This one is for people with a MetroCard still in the drawer, a radiator that bangs at 6 a.m., and opinions about which bodega makes the chopped cheese right.
No shop owns this site. Nobody paid to be in it. We don't list dispensaries and we don't do affiliate links. If a place is in here, it's because it's worth sending a friend there. If you want the legal stuff straight, start with where you can sesh in NYC and the NYC weed FAQ. If you're stuck inside, the small apartment guide has you.
