The term “cannabis tourism” wasn’t even coined until a couple of years ago, but people have been taking cannabis-centric vacations (though perhaps less publicly) for years. Now that cannabis is legal in New York, plenty of 420-friendly activities can be found in the Big Apple.
Looking for something green in the concrete jungle? Well, you’re in luck. We did some research to find some of the funnest cannabis activities in New York City.

Paint Puff ‘N’ Peace
If you’re an “up and coming” artist (sorry, we had to), you need to check out Paint Puff ‘N’ Peace. Take your friends or family for a night of guided painting while you enjoy cannabis together. This site has been supported by Nick Cannon and Fat Joe.
No one needs to have artistic experience to participate. Just have a friendly, positive vibe and let your mind and hands do the rest. Who knows? You might be surprised.
Location: Paint Puff ‘N’ Peace has two locations. One is in East Harlem at 2037 Third Ave. and the other at 128 Second Ave., just south of St. Mark’s Place.
Cannabis-infused food
We know you’ll want some cannabis-infused food spots on your radar. New York has a wealth of green cuisine options to satisfy your cravings. Two local favorites are listed below.

Stoned Gourmet Cannabis Pizza
Since the dawn of time (well, maybe not that long ago) cannabis and pizza have gone together like PB and J. Now, you can have both at the same time.
Stoned Gourmet Cannabis Pizza is the passion project of Chef Chris Barrett, aka “The Pizza Pusha”. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Chris was inspired by his trip to California where he would merge his two favorite passions: pizza and the almighty plant.
You will enjoy the delicious pizza names that Chef Chris has come up with such as “Medical Margarita” and “Pepperoni Haze”. They are as delicious as they sound.
If you’re holed up on the couch at home watching Netflix, you can choose to have your pizza delivered. But if you prefer to go out (safely), you can also pick it up in store.
Location: Stoned Gourmet Cannabis Pizza is in the lower east. You can choose between the supper club or the lounge.
Price: Reservations are recommended and are $140 per person.

You can order online or visit the kitchen itself.
Location: 2128 2nd Ave
Price: If you dine in the kitchen, you must pay $100 per person when you make your reservation.
NYC Bud and breakfast
Wouldn’t it be great if hotels offered cannabis service? Think about it. Call the hotel desk at 4:20pm to ask for their menu of cannabis products.
While we haven’t been able to find any 420-friendly hotels in New York yet, there is an Airbnb-style platform that lists 420-friendly accommodations available for rent in New York and around the world. It’s called Bud and Breakfast. Light up guilt-free and enjoy the sights and sounds of NYC from the comfort of your cannabis-friendly abode (abud?)
Price: As with Airbnb, rental prices will vary. Find something that fits your budget and go from there. Be sure to compare and contrast the options so you can get the best deal.
CBD Spa at Ohm Spa & Lounge
Many people feel that CBD has a calming effect on the mind and body. If you need to unwind from the stresses of the city, try a CBD spa.
CBD spas generally incorporate CBD oils and lotions into a standard Swedish massage. Expect to feel pain and anxiety washed away with cannabidiol oil. You may feel refreshed and rejuvenated in a whole new way.
There are dozens of CBD spas in New York. One place with excellent reviews is Ohm Spa & Lounge in Flatiron.
Location: 205 E 16th St (off 3rd Ave), Suite M2A (2nd Floor)
Price: A 60-minute CBD massage will set you back $199 here, and a 90-minute one will set you back $259. Other services such as facials and special packages will vary.
As you can see, cannabis tourism is alive and well in New York City. With marijuana more socially accepted than ever and New York State recently legalizing cannabis for adults, there’s even more reason to incorporate cannabis into your next vacation (or stay) in the Big Apple.
