Specialties
Midnight Moon is a New York State licensed recreational cannabis dispensary in West Harlem, Manhattan, offering one of the most carefully curated weed selections in upper Manhattan. Whether you're a first-time cannabis customer or a daily connoisseur, our budtenders deliver a personalized shopping experience built around your preferences, tolerance, and lifestyle.
We carry high THC flower from top New York cultivators, plus an extensive menu of pre-roll packs, diamond infused pre-rolls, edibles, live resin and live rosin gummies, chocolates, cannabis beverages, vape pens, cartridges, hash / kief, concentrates, wax, dabs, tinctures, topicals, and CBD products. Every product on our shelves is lab-tested for potency and purity — because what you put in your body matters.
Our budtenders don't just ring you up — they listen. Looking for an energizing sativa to spark creativity? A smooth hybrid for a night out? A heavy indica to melt into the couch? We match every customer with the right strain, product, and dosage based on the effects they want, not just what's popular. That personal touch is why our customers keep coming back and why Midnight Moon is one of the best rated dispensaries in Manhattan.
Located at 1536 Amsterdam Avenue, we proudly service Harlem, Hamilton Heights, Morningside Heights, Washington Heights, the Upper West Side, and the Columbia University and City College communities. Shop in store, order online for pickup, or schedule delivery directly to your door.
History
Established in 2024.
Midnight Moon opened in September 2024 and is located at 1536 Amsterdam Avenue in the heart of West Harlem, Manhattan. We launched during a defining moment for legal cannabis in New York City, when customers were searching for a licensed recreational dispensary they could count on for safe, potent, lab-tested weed in a market flooded with unregulated shops.
We built Midnight Moon for this neighborhood. Harlem didn't need another storefront — it needed a cannabis dispensary rooted in education, transparency, and genuine respect for every person walking through the door. That principle drives everything we do, from how we train our budtenders to how we select every product on our shelves.
What began as a commitment to bring a premium, fully compliant cannabis experience to upper Manhattan has grown into something bigger — a trusted destination for longtime Harlem residents, Washington Heights and Upper West Side neighbors, and the Columbia University and City College communities alike.
Meet the Business Owner: Leonel A.
Hey, I'm Leo, an owner of Midnight Moon. I built this cannabis dispensary because I believe everyone deserves access to high-quality, lab-tested weed from someone they can actually trust — especially in West Harlem, the neighborhood I grew up in.
Before Midnight Moon, I spent five years running Wine and Unwind, a wine store right here on Amsterdam Avenue. When I realized upper Manhattan had no licensed recreational dispensaries, I decided to change that. Every lesson from the wine store — curating quality products, training a team that genuinely listens, creating a space people want to come back to — I brought with me to Midnight Moon.
What I love most about the shop are the conversations. Someone walks in curious about edibles or a longtime smoker shares a new strain they can't stop talking about. Cannabis is personal, and I want every visit to Midnight Moon to feel that way.
When I'm not at the shop, you'll find me with my family. Stop by and say hello — I'd love to meet you.
