Dispensaries in Kingston, NY outnumber those in any other Ulster County city or town. The state's dispensary verification page lists seven licensed shops with a Kingston address as of 2026, spread from Midtown Broadway to the commercial strips on Ulster Avenue, Route 28 and Route 32, and the register shows more licensed locations that have not opened yet. Adults 21+ will find one within a short drive of any part of the city, which leaves the day free for the city itself: New York's first capital, a stone-house Uptown and a riverfront.

Broadway and Midtown

Hub Dispensary, 728 Broadway, is the in-town option on the long avenue that ties Uptown to the Rondout. It is the easiest stop for anyone staying in Midtown, and the one shop on this list where walking is a reasonable plan.

Lucky Green Ladies, 365 South Wall Street, holds a conditional adult-use retail license, the social-equity round that opened New York's first adult-use shops. It opened in early 2025, according to the register.

Two more Broadway-area licenses are on the books: the register lists a licensed location at 356 Broadway that is not yet operating, and a microbusiness license on Albany Avenue in the same state. Neither belongs in a plan until it shows up on the verification page.

Kingston Plaza and Ulster Avenue

• Catskill Mountain High, 308 Plaza Road, in the Kingston Plaza. Another conditional licensee, open since 2024.
• Canna Planet Kingston, 1221 Ulster Avenue, on the Ulster Avenue retail corridor. The chain's site lists delivery from this store and online ordering for in-store pickup, which makes it the default for anyone staying out of town without a car.

Route 28 and Forest Hill Drive

• Etain Kingston, 445 Route 28, heading west toward the Catskills. A reasonable stop on the way to Phoenicia or Woodstock.
• Domes Dispensary, 268 Forest Hill Drive. The shop's site lists hours of 9 AM to 9 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 6 PM on Sunday, an early start by local standards.

Route 32: the Kingston address that isn't

Royal Blend Dispensary, 2223 Route 32, uses a Kingston mailing address, but the shop at the corner of Kallop Road sits in the hamlet of Bloomington, in the Town of Rosendale. It opened over Labor Day weekend in 2024 under a social-equity license and has offered delivery alongside pickup. The geography matters only to the map; for a driver heading south toward Rosendale or New Paltz, it is the last Kingston-address stop on the way.

Before the visit

• Verify first. Verify licensed status via the OCM QR code at cannabis.ny.gov. Every licensed shop posts the code, and the verification page is the list to trust over any map pin.
• ID. Adults 21+ only, with a valid government-issued photo ID. Out-of-state licenses are accepted.
• Limits. Up to three ounces of flower and 24 grams of concentrate in possession.
• Edibles. Start low, go slow, and read the serving size printed on the package.
• Tax. The register adds a 9 percent state and 4 percent local retail cannabis tax.
• Delivery. Licensed delivery comes from a licensed shop, to an adult 21+ with ID at the door. Anything else is not legal delivery.
• Hours. They change with the season. Check the shop's own site the day you go.

The Senate House, reopened

Kingston became New York's capital after the State Constitution was ratified in April 1777, and the first State Senate met in a rented room in the stone house of Abraham Van Gaasbeek, a merchant who backed the Patriots. In October 1777 British troops raided Kingston and burned hundreds of buildings. The Van Gaasbeek house was damaged and survived, and it is now the Senate House State Historic Site at 296 Fair Street in Uptown.

The site reopened on May 30, 2026 after a $2.5 million restoration, paid for with a National Park Service grant and state parks capital funds. The reopening was timed to the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, a story in which Kingston has more at stake than most cities its size. Check the State Parks page for the winter schedule before going, since historic sites trim their hours after the fall.

The Stockade District around it rewards a slow loop on foot, and it is all public sidewalk. New York state law prohibits cannabis consumption on state-owned land and in public spaces, which covers the Senate House grounds and the city's streets and parks. Purchases stay sealed in the car, and driving impaired is illegal.
