It\u2019s late August. School is coming back. But summer isn\u2019t over, so don\u2019t throw in the towel just yet. Make the most of the final weeks of this good weather, good sunlight and good vibes. Whether you\u2019ll be on the Upper West Side popping by Flower Power, or shopping at your local cannabis<\/a> dispensary, there\u2019s still time to make this New York summer feel like a movie.<\/p>\n

This one feels made for New York. TKS Sensei\u2019s Big Apple has that premium indoor look and aroma the second you open it \u2013 it\u2019s so fresh, loud and clearly not some average shelf flower. Smooth smoke, great flavor and a balanced hybrid feel that hits without completely taking over your night.<\/p>\n

Picture the perfect Upper West Side vibe: Walk through Riverside Park, grab something to eat on Amsterdam, or kick back after dealing with NYC all day. With summer still going strong and the city packed with outdoor events, this is exactly the type of flower I want around for a late August night in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Big Apple in the Big Apple just makes sense.\n<\/p>\n

Milkweed\u2019s Gorilla Glue X Bruce Banner already sounds serious, and the infused version definitely isn\u2019t playing around. Strong, flavorful and much more of a heavy hitter than your everyday pre-roll. This is the one I\u2019d save for when the day is done, and you\u2019re ready to enjoy the city instead of fighting it.<\/p>\n

Picture a summer night on the Upper West Side: Central Park is alive, people are heading toward SummerStage, restaurants are packed, and Manhattan still feels wide awake.\u00a0 That\u2019s the energy this fits.<\/p>\n

The 4-pack is also convenient because you\u2019re not dealing with rolling anything yourself.\n<\/p>\n

Definitely for experienced consumers. Gorilla Glue and Bruce Banner provide a great touch of infusion \u2014 and you have to respect the name.\n<\/p>\n

Sometimes you don\u2019t need anything complicated\u2014you want a good 1g pre-roll, good flower, good burn, and something you can grab and go.\u00a0 MacStomper from Budding Bliss Farm hits that lane.<\/p>\n

Nice hybrid feel, smooth enough to enjoy without feeling like you\u2019re wrestling with the joint, and the 1g size is exactly right for sharing with friends. This feels like an NYC summer preroll: Riverside Park, walking the neighborhood, music in the city and catching the last stretch of summer before September comes flying in.<\/p>\n

And right now, Riverside Park still has Summer on the Hudson programming happening on the Upper West Side, which makes the neighborhood one of my favorite places in Manhattan during this part of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Angelo Kitkas, owner of Flower Power Dispensary.
