New Upper East Side Legal Weed Shop To Open Soon.

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Meet you at the corner of Bliss and Lex.

The cleverly named store is set to become one of the newest Upper East Side legal cannabis shops, with an announced opening date of March 20.

Bliss and Lex announced the opening on their Instagram account, with a ribbon cutting set for 10:30 a.m. and the official start of business at, when else, 4:20 p.m.

The opening, according to the store, will be an "opulent soirée," the post reads.

"Prepare to indulge in an evening of luxury, sophistication, and unparalleled elegance," the store said.

Part of the Housing Works Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensaries Community Initiative — a resource-sharing program by Housing Works to help social equity license holders open their doors — Bliss and Lex will also be Manhattan's first Black woman-owned legal cannabis shop, according to East Side Feed.

“As native New Yorkers, we have a unique understanding of the diverse cannabis community in the city,” Bliss and Lex co-owner Nicole Lucien told East Side Feed. “The diversity of each neighborhood in New York shapes its cannabis culture. We hope to seamlessly blend our cannabis roots into the Lexington Avenue retail district.”

Two other legal weed shops have already opened for business this year on the Upper East Side: The Herbal Care in Carnegie Hill and Lenox Hill Cannabis Co. in Lenox Hill.

A pair of legal dispensaries were approved by Community Board 8 in February, and another Lenox Hill store will soon open their doors as well.

By comparison, on the Upper West Side, no legal cannabis stores have opened yet. The neighborhood's first legal weed store was just announced on West 66th Street last week.
