Dispensaries in Peekskill, NY went from none to four in about two years. The state's license register lists four operating adult-use shops with a Peekskill address as of 2026, spread from Central Avenue to Main Street, and a fifth just over the line in Cortlandt Manor on Route 6. Adults 21+ coming up the Hudson Line or off Route 9 have more choice here than in most river towns between Yonkers and Beacon, and the small city at the bend of the Hudson has enough going on around them to fill an afternoon.
The first one: Valley Greens on Central Avenue
Valley Greens, 939 Central Avenue, was Peekskill's first licensed dispensary. It held its grand opening on August 24, 2024. It operates under a conditional adult-use retail license, the social-equity round that opened New York's first legal stores.
Washington Street: Cloud 914
Cloud 914, 807 Washington Street, opened in November 2024 and has been part of Peekskill's short list ever since. It holds a standard adult-use retail license, and its own site carries an online-ordering menu and posted hours of 10 AM to 8 PM Monday through Saturday and 11 AM to 7 PM on Sunday.
The 2026 arrivals: Peek Buds and Piffords
Two more shops opened this year, both under conditional licenses:
- Peek Buds, 1719 Main Street, opened to the public on April 28, 2026, according to the state register. It sits on downtown Main Street, near Hudson Valley MOCA, which makes it the easiest of the four to fold into a walk around the center of the city.
- Piffords, 500 Highland Avenue, received city approval in August 2025 and opened in June 2026, per the register.
Hours at newer shops change more often than at established ones. Check each store's own site before driving over.
Over the line: Kings House of Fire
Kings House of Fire, 3006 East Main Street in Cortlandt Manor, has been operating since July 2024. East Main Street here is Route 6, the commercial road that runs east from Peekskill toward Mohegan Lake and Yorktown, and the shop suits drivers who would rather not go into the city at all.
Reading the state lists
The state publishes two lists, and they are worth checking together. The dispensary verification page names the shops tied to the QR-code system, the ones a customer can confirm at the door. The license register carries every license with an operating status, including approved locations that are not open yet. One more Peekskill address, a microbusiness on John Walsh Boulevard, holds an active license but shows as not operating. It does not belong in a plan until that changes.
Before the visit
- Verify first. Verify licensed status via the OCM QR code at cannabis.ny.gov. Every licensed shop posts the code near the entrance.
- 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 on the label before anything else.
- Tax. A 9 percent state and 4 percent local retail cannabis tax applies at the register.
- The ride home. Purchases stay sealed. On Metro-North that means in the bag; in the car, out of reach. Driving impaired is illegal in New York.
The Paramount and the museum on Main Street
Peekskill's downtown has two anchors worth planning around. The Paramount Hudson Valley Theater, 1008 Brown Street, opened in 1930 as a movie palace designed by the theater architects George and Charles Rapp. It is a Westchester County landmark and listed on the state and national registers of historic places, and it now operates as a nonprofit performing-arts venue.
A few blocks away, Hudson Valley MOCA, 1701 Main Street, shows contemporary art downtown. Its site lists hours of Thursday and Saturday, 11 AM to 5 PM, and asks visitors to call ahead, since hours can change.
Blue Mountain and the riverfront
Blue Mountain Reservation, a 1,538-acre Westchester County park at 435 Welcher Avenue, is the city's backyard. It is open 8 AM to dusk year-round, with trails up Mount Spitzenberg and Blue Mountain, and the county lists cross-country skiing among its winter uses when there is snow. The trail system also connects to the Briarcliff-Peekskill Trailway.
Down at the water, Riverfront Park and Charles Point are two of the spots the state Department of Environmental Conservation names for watching wintering bald eagles, which begin arriving on the Hudson in December and peak in January and February. Binoculars, a quarter-mile of distance and patience are the whole method.
All of it is public land. New York state law prohibits cannabis consumption on state-owned land and in public spaces, and that covers the county reservation, the riverfront parks, downtown sidewalks and the train platforms.
Beyond Peekskill
Peekskill is the northernmost of Westchester's cities and the last stop on the Hudson Line before the county line. To the south, Ossining, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow each have licensed shops along the Hudson Line, and White Plains and Yonkers have the county's largest groups. The Peekskill hub collects everything published about the city, every licensed address is on the dispensary map, and what is on this season is on the events calendar.
