Into the World of Alta

Alta isn’t your typical weed shop, and we’re proud of that. Our dispensary near East Village was designed to feel like a wellness lounge: warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Think soft lighting, curated playlists, and thoughtfully placed displays that invite you to browse, pause, and ask questions. Every aspect of the space was designed to create a low-stress, high-comfort shopping experience that aligns with the energy of the East Village itself.

We’ve also taken the guesswork out of choosing cannabis. Instead of an overwhelming wall of product names and THC percentages, we’ve organized everything by effect. Our five signature categories—Rest,ChillReliefFocusandVibe—make it easier to find what suits your day, your vibe, and your pace. Heading to a show at Bowery Electric? You’ll find energizing flower or pre-rolls in our Vibe section. Unwinding from a long day at work? Chill and Relief offer calming options to ease you into your night.

Our team is trained not just to know the products, but to guide without pressure. Whether you’re an experienced consumer or a first-time visitor, we’re here to make your cannabis journey clear, welcoming, and maybe even a little fun. It’s cannabis, curated with care and designed for real life.

Explore East Village
After Your Alta Visit

East Village is known for its rebellious heart, artistic edge, and unbeatable eats, all just minutes from Alta’s front door.

Apollo Bagels

A sourdough-forward, small-batch bagel shop that’s quickly become one of NYC’s top spots. The bagels are chewy, tangy, and perfectly blistered, best paired with a classic schmear or inventive spread like Calabrian chili cream cheese. Expect a line, but it moves fast and is absolutely worth the wait.

Tompkins Square Park

This beloved park is East Village in a nutshell. Skaters, musicians, artists, dog walkers, and quiet readers all converge in its leafy green sprawl. Look for street art tucked into corners, grab a bench near the dog run, or catch a weekend drum circle. Whether you're walking off a high or leaning into a vibe, Tompkins Square Park is equal parts peaceful and punk.

Tim Ho Wan

An East Village outpost of the famed Hong Kong dim sum spot, Tim Ho Wan delivers Michelin-level bites without breaking your budget. The baked BBQ pork buns are warm, slightly crisp, and sweet-salty perfection. Pair with dumplings and jasmine tea for the perfect post-Alta meal.

St. Mark's Comedy Club

Tucked beneath the sidewalks of St. Mark's Place, this intimate club brings raw, often hilarious stand-up to the East Village every night of the week. Expect unexpected drop-ins, themed sets, and a rotating crew of rising stars. It’s the kind of place where the laughs are loud and the vibe is loose, perfect after a mellow edible and a stroll through the city.

The Bowery Electric

A gritty, neon-soaked music venue that channels the soul of downtown NYC. Come for the local punk, indie, or electro sets; stay for the electric crowd and no-frills bar. If you’ve picked up a sativa-heavy pre-roll from Alta, this is where you want to light up your evening (metaphorically, of course).

Pineapple Club

This tropically inspired cocktail bar is known for its lush decor, house-made syrups, and drinks served with a twist. The two-level space features a breezy upstairs bar and a cozy downstairs lounge, perfect for solo sippers or group gatherings. Their signature Pineapple Express cocktail hits like a dream.
