A cannabis dispensary that looks like a mini-Grand Central just opened in Midtown
Briefly

NYC Bud has opened a cannabis dispensary in Hell's Kitchen, featuring a design inspired by Grand Central Station. The layout includes an information booth styled like a train station where customers can retrieve their orders. The main attraction is a hand-painted ceiling resembling Grand Central's iconic constellations. The founders aim to create an Instagram-friendly atmosphere, highlighted during the grand opening event with street performances. Their focus is on providing a distinct New York experience for cannabis enthusiasts while maintaining ties to the local community.
"This one is more an ode to Grand Central Station. Our first location had an actual train in it. With this one, we wanted to elevate the idea—create something that feels just as epic and just as New York."
"Our goal is always, what is going to get people to take pictures of this place, post about it, and become its promoters? Mission accomplished—the ribbon-cutting on Aug. 2 featured street performances and a steady stream of gawking visitors snapping ceiling selfies."
