Top Tips For Navigating Times Square From Nicklz
There’s nothing like the bright lights of Time Square — but if you’re feeling overwhelmed, here are a few quick tips for making the most of your moment in the city.
- Walk instead of taking a cab or the subway so you can truly stop and see all the sights.
- If you are driving through Times Square, drive south on 7th Avenue or north on 6th or 8th Avenue. You can’t continue on Broadway south of 47th Street.
- Instead of familiar chains or large restaurants, check out the corner bodega or a local food cart. We promise you won’t regret it.
- Check for local hashtags and trending locations near you on Instagram to find the best hot spots or hidden gems. While you’re at it, connect with us at @nicklzny and tag us in your city adventures!
- If you are looking to hit all the traditional tourist spots, there are tons of hop-on, hop-off tour buses that start and end in Times Square.
Our Favorite Neighborhoods Around Times Square
We may be partial, but we think our Times Square dispensary is just blocks from some of the most iconic neighborhoods in Manhattan. Here are a few of our personal favorites.
The Theater District
The center of entertainment in the city, many of the best Broadway theaters in all of New York City can be found here. This area stretches from West 40th to West 54th Street and from 6th to 8th Avenue, crossed by Broadway and spanning the pedestrian area of Times Square. It’s truly the perfect place to catch a show after sharing an infused seltzer with friends!
Hell’s Kitchen
Hell’s Kitchen is eclectic and diverse with tons of incredible bars and restaurants. Bordered by 34th Street to the south, 59th Street to the north, 8th Avenue to the east, and the Hudson River to the west, be sure to stop by this area to grab dinner after those gummy munchies hit.
Chelsea
Chelsea is ultra-trendy with excellent eateries, shopping, art galleries, and nightlife. This neighborhood spans 14th Street to the south, the Hudson River and West Street to the west, and 6th Avenue to the east. We recommend grabbing your go-to vape and hitting the High Line for a walk!
Our Times Square Cannabis Dispensary
After years of advancing the cannabis community in this city, we opened our doors in Times Square in 2024. We’ve worked tirelessly to cultivate not only high-quality cannabis products from a variety of top brands, but also a unique experience that truly reflects the spirit of New York. We can’t wait to see you at our shop so you can feel it for yourself!
