Post-Chocolate Chill Spots Nearby
- After your candy quest, you’ll want somewhere to wind down. Here are some cannabis- friendly attractions close by where you can mellow out or keep the fun going:
Bryant Park – Just a short walk and full of great people-watching. - The Midnight Moment Art Installations – Check out Times Square’s massive
digital art show every night at 11:57 pm. - St. Cloud Rooftop Bar – For the elevated tourist vibe with killer views.
Responsible Use Reminder: Cannabis + Crowds = Mindful Vibes
NYC cannabis laws allow for recreational use, but lighting up in public spaces like Times Square is still a no-go. Enjoy your cannabis products in a private, legal setting before or after your shopping adventure. And always stay hydrated, respect your limits, and keep snacks on hand (though M&M’s World has that part covered).
