Serving Carnegie Hill
We’re at 1st Avenue and East 69th Street — inside Carnegie Hill, not adjacent to it. From the 68 St–Hunter College 6 station it’s a two-block walk east; from the 72 St Q it’s about four blocks. The M15 and M15 SBS run right past the door along 1st and 2nd Avenues, and the M31 and M57 bring you crosstown to the corner.
For the hospital corridor around 77th and Lex, or the NewYork-Presbyterian and HSS blocks down by the river, we’re a short walk or one stop on the bus. It’s the kind of stop you make on the way home rather than a trip you plan — which is exactly how a neighborhood dispensary should feel.

Serving Carnegie Hill
Carnegie Hill runs on its own rhythm. The hospital corridor around 77th and Lexington never fully quiets; the avenues fill and empty with shift changes, school runs, and the long walk home from the river. We sit right in the middle of it, on 1st Avenue at 69th — close enough that a stop here is part of the day, not a detour from it.
For the nurses and techs finishing a shift at NewYork-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell, or HSS, we’re a short walk or one stop on the M15. For Hunter students of age and longtime residents on the avenues, we’re the familiar door two blocks from the 6. We keep evening hours because that’s when this neighborhood actually gets to breathe — and we’d rather be here when you are than close before you’re done.
It’s a smaller, more considered shelf than the big-box shops downtown — the products we’d actually reach for ourselves, and staff who’ll tell you the truth about them. That’s what a neighborhood dispensary should be: yours.
