How buying works Licensed shops Getting there FAQ Sources
Times Square has several licensed dispensaries and many unlicensed storefronts. The difference is the OCM license posted at the door, which you can check against the state's dispensary verification tool.
Qube sits at 1412 Broadway at West 39th Street, walkable from the theaters. Charlie Fox on Seventh Avenue and Hells Kitchen Cannabis Company on West 40th Street are also licensed and within a few blocks.

OCM-MICR-24-000069 · Adult-use
Hells Kitchen Cannabis Company operates under OCM microbusiness license OCM-MICR-24-000069 at 356 West 40th Street, beside the Port Authority Bus Terminal and a few blocks west of Times Square. OCM records show it opened in March 2025. It is not a partner. We have not verified hours or a phone number, so confirm with the shop before you walk over.
Times Square and Herald Square are subway-first. None of the shops listed here has a parking lot.
OCM records list 97 active licensed retail locations with a New York (Manhattan) address, so an unlicensed smoke shop near the theaters is never your only option.
Yes, at an OCM-licensed adult-use dispensary if you are 21+ with government photo ID. Check the shop on the OCM dispensary verification tool. Unlicensed smoke shops are not legal dispensaries.

A licensed dispensary holds an Office of Cannabis Management license, such as a CAURD or adult-use retail license, and posts it at the door. A smoke shop selling cannabis without that license is not a legal retailer in New York.

Qube lists hours from 8am to 2am, seven days a week. Confirm on the operator site before a late visit, because hours can change.
No. Cannabis is still illegal under federal law, and airport security checkpoints are federal. New York also makes it illegal to take cannabis across state lines, including medical cannabis.
Adults 21+ may consume in a private home or in most places tobacco smoking is allowed. It is illegal in a vehicle, at a private business such as a restaurant patio, where smoking is banned such as public parks, and on federal property.
