New York City doesn’t slow down—but you can. Just a few steps from the electric chaos of Times Square sits your new favorite escape hatch: The Daily Green, a licensed cannabis dispensary built like an old-school newsroom and buzzing with modern-day New York energy. Step inside, stock up, and prep yourself for a day of mellow marveling. If you’re looking for the ultimate pairing of art and elevation, we’ve got just the ticket—head uptown to The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) for a cannabis-enhanced experience you won’t forget.

MoMA isn’t just a museum—it’s a trip. Literally. From the surreal to the sublime, here’s your weed-friendly walkthrough of the 5 best MoMA exhibits to check out after you’ve had your chill session near Times Square.

Why MoMA is a Cannabis-Lover’s Dream

Modern art was made to be viewed high. Abstract colors, immersive installations, bold statements—it’s all meant to stretch the mind. Whether you’re floating on a sativa high or easing into a hybrid’s cozy calm, cannabis can turn your MoMA visit into a moving meditation. Plus, MoMA is just a few subway stops from The Daily Green in Times Square, making it an ideal destination for art lovers, tourists, and curious minds looking for that perfect New York afternoon.

Top 5 MoMA Exhibits to Experience High

  1. The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh
    • Vibe: Meditative, emotional, timeless
    • Best Paired With: Rythm’s Lemon Fresh (Sativa)
      This iconic swirl of blue and gold feels like it was painted with THC in mind. Under the influence of a balanced hybrid like Lemon Fresh, you may find yourself fully immersed in Van Gogh’s rhythm, noticing movement in the brushstrokes and feeling that cosmic pull.
    • Location: Floor 5 – Painting and Sculpture I

  2. Refik Anadol’s “Unsupervised” (AI + Data Art Installation)
    • Vibe: Digital trip, futuristic sensory playground
    • Best Paired With: Rove Cherry Gelato (Vape)
      This constantly shifting, AI-generated visualization uses data from MoMA’s own collection to create an ever-evolving art experience. Trippy visuals + sativa vapor = a modern museum match made in heaven.
    • Location: Lobby & Digital Projects

 

  1. Salvador Dalí’s “The Persistence of Memory.”
    • Vibe: Surreal, strange, and wonderfully weird
    • Best Paired With: MFNY – Honey Banana (Sativa)
      Time melts. Thoughts bend. Dalí was practically painting for the stoned soul. A cerebral sativa like Super Lemon Haze brings a buzzing clarity that makes the surrealism even more mind-expanding.
    • Location: Floor 5 – Painting and Sculpture I

  1. Judd and Minimalism: Precision Made Profound
    • Vibe: Clean, meditative, geometric calm
    • Best Paired With: Wana Strawberry Margarita (Sativa Edible)
      Minimalist art asks you to slow down and appreciate the nuance of repetition, shape, and space. A slow-building sativa edible will bring your senses to attention and deepen your stillness.
    • Location: Floor 4 – Contemporary Galleries

 

  1. The Sculpture Garden
    • Vibe: Open air, living gallery, serene space
    • Best Paired With: Wyld Strawberry Hybrid Edible 
      The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden is MoMA’s crown jewel—an outdoor oasis surrounded by stunning works from Rodin, Picasso, and more. Pair it with a balanced gummy for gentle euphoria and grounding energy, perfect for soaking in sun, art, and ambiance.

Directions from The Daily Green (Times Square) to MoMA

MoMA is just a 15-minute stroll or a short subway hop from The Daily Green, making it an ideal post-dispensary destination:

  • Walk: Head northeast up 6th Ave. to 53rd Street and turn right. MoMA is between 5th and 6th Avenues.
  • Subway: Take the E train from 42nd St.–Port Authority to 5th Ave./53rd St. (2 stops).
  • Cab/Uber: ~$10, depending on traffic—less if you split with a fellow art aficionado.

Pre-Museum Checklist: Stoner's Edition

  • Choose Your Strain: Talk to our expert budtenders at The Daily Green about your desired vibe—do you want something cerebral, soothing, or social?
  • Pack Light: MoMA has security screening and bag checks. Keep it minimal (and keep your stash at home or safely sealed).
  • Hydrate: Edibles and vapes can creep up on you. Grab a water bottle and maybe a snack before heading in.
  • Chill, Don’t Rush: MoMA is best explored slowly. Find a bench, soak in a canvas, and let your high guide your journey.
  • Keep It Legal: Consumption inside the museum isn’t permitted. Enjoy your goodies before you arrive, or plan for a nearby break after.
