Why Good Company?
The Upper West Side has several licensed dispensaries. Here's what sets Good Company apart:
Licensed and lab-tested
We're fully licensed by New York's Office of Cannabis Management. Every product on our shelves has been independently lab-tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbials. You're getting exactly what the label says — no surprises. Learn how to read cannabis labels.
Knowledgeable budtenders
Our team knows cannabis. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned consumer, we'll help you find the right strain, format, and dose for your goals — relaxation, energy, pain relief, or just a good time in the park.
Full product range
We carry everything: flower, pre-rolls, edibles (gummies, chocolates, beverages), vapes, tinctures, topicals, concentrates, and accessories. Browsing our menu is like visiting a well-curated shop, not a warehouse.
Neighborhood pricing and deals
We believe quality cannabis shouldn't require a trust fund. Our deals page features daily specials (Flower Fridays, Munchie Mondays), happy hour pricing, and a 25% first-time customer discount. Our rewards program earns you points on every purchase.
A real neighborhood shop
Good Company isn't a chain or a pop-up. We're an Upper West Side business built for this neighborhood. Our name says it all — we want to be the kind of company you'd actually want to keep.
Central Park + Cannabis: What You Should Know
Planning to enjoy cannabis near or in Central Park? Here are a few things to keep in mind under New York's cannabis laws:
- Smoking is generally allowed in open areas of the park where tobacco smoking is permitted. New York law treats cannabis smoke the same as cigarette smoke in public spaces.
- Smoking is prohibited in playgrounds, sports fields, pools, designated quiet zones (like the Conservatory Garden), and within enclosed park structures.
- Edibles and beverages are the most discreet option for park enjoyment — no smoke, no smell, no attention. Just plan ahead because edibles take 45-90 minutes to kick in.
- Vape pens are a middle ground — less conspicuous than flower, faster acting than edibles.
- Be considerate. Even where it's legal, blowing cannabis smoke toward a family picnic or a children's playground is not a good look. Find a quieter spot, face away from crowds, and enjoy responsibly.
Central Park is one of the great public spaces on Earth. If you're going to enjoy cannabis there, do it in a way that respects the space and the people sharing it with you. That's the Good Company approach.
