🎉 1. Check Out NYC’s 420-Friendly Events
NYC is going all out for 420 this year, with events scattered across Manhattan and beyond. Here are a few we’ve got our eyes on:
420 Hippie Hill NYC – Central Park Edition
You’ve heard of San Francisco’s Hippie Hill? NYC’s version in Central Park is just as vibey. Expect drum circles, live DJs, and an unofficial but seriously good time. Bring your blanket, roll one up (legally and discreetly!), and enjoy.
420 Rooftop Smoke Sessions
Several rooftops in Manhattan and Brooklyn are hosting private, cannabis-friendly events. One favorite: The Astor Club’s 420 Night, featuring infused cocktails and curated strains. It’s invite-only, so act fast if you want in.
420 Comedy Nights at The Stand
This cannabis-themed comedy show at The Stand NYC is perfect if you love to laugh when you’re lit. Grab a table, a CBD mocktail, and prepare for a night of high spirits and hilarious sets.
🌳 2. Smoke Up and Chill Out in NYC’s Green Spaces
420 weekend is the perfect time to reconnect with nature—even in the middle of the city.
Central Park’s Great Lawn
Pack a picnic and a discreet vape or pre-roll (you know we’ve got you covered at Liberty Buds), and head to the Great Lawn. It’s a peaceful place to kick back and watch the world go by.
Riverside Park at Sunset
Nothing beats a golden hour session by the water. Riverside Park offers scenic views of the Hudson and plenty of space to vibe out without the chaos.
