NYC BUD
About NYC BUD
On Vernon Blvd in Long Island City, NYC BUD has earned 828 reviews and a 4.9 rating, with a setup that genuinely stands apart from standard dispensary design. There's a Konami retro arcade machine in the back for customers waiting on orders, art for sale on the walls, and a music selection that reviewers call out specifically. Eli is named for friendly, knowledgeable service, and the broader staff gets steady praise. Payment options include cash, Venmo, and debit card, which is more flexible than the cash-only setup at many New York dispensaries. The product range covers flower and edibles with named brands like Olio, plus apparel and other lifestyle goods. Hours run 11 AM to 11 PM every single day, no exceptions, which makes evening drop-ins reliable. Long Island City sits across the river from Manhattan with easy transit access, so the shop pulls foot traffic from both boroughs. The vibe is the real product here, and regulars describe visiting almost daily.

Customer Reviews
I come here almost everyday. I love this place. It’s convenient, professional, and I like their customer service. Deserves 5 stars. This is what I’m smoking today. (See photo)
Came in to scoop some Olio product! Got the last of the edible in stock (my personal favorite). Eli was the nicest budtender and the vibe of the store is immaculate. Great music selection & extremely knowledgable and friendly staff! I was playing frogger in the back on the Konami retro arcade machine while waiting for my order to be picked, only took about 2 minutes to process everything and have me on my way. One of the nicer shops in the area in terms of accessibility and product selection. Will for sure be back soon! Thank you!
This is one of the coolest clubs I’ve ever been to customer service is amazing. The cannabis is tasty and delicious and I can’t wait to come back.
Beautiful store offering a wide variety of products, including clothes. Cash vemno and debit card payment options. Friendly staff. Check out the artwork for sale.
Great place, chill vibes, and a very helpful staff! Jamal was amazing so definitely ask for him when you’re here! And it’s all themed around subway trains and the Grand Central Station! Fun!
