   NYCBUD is the only CAURD-licensed walk-in dispensary in LIC itself, anchored at 27-25 44th Dr near Court Sq. Newer to the neighborhood with a growing brand wall focused on indoor flower and pre-rolls. Strong for Court Sq commuters; limited delivery footprint compared to two-depot Queens leaders.

   • +Growing brand wall focused on indoor flower

   Watch-out

   Limited delivery footprint — primarily a walk-in storefront.

   4.3

   Address

   Long Island City / adjacent corridor, NY

   Distance

   • +Honest budtender consultations

   Watch-out

   Smaller brand depth and shorter hours than the Court Sq competitor.
