6 Fun Restaurants in SoHo Made Even Better with Weed

SoHo’s restaurants are among its biggest calling cards, but the neighborhood’s most exciting eateries aren’t the ones with big crowds and long wait times. Some of its best restaurants fly under the radar, and pairing them with cannabis makes every bite feel extra heavenly. We’ve gathered a list of six fun restaurants in SoHo NYC that fully justify lighting up or enjoying an edible beforehand.

Little Ways

343 W Broadway, New York, NY 10013

Known for its 1970s-inspired ambiance and elevated American fare, Little Ways tucks two stories into the bustle of the one and only West Broadway. Start with the deviled eggs, which are sprinkled with confetti sesame for extra fun, and order the maitake mushroom rigatoni for a visual and taste-bud feast. If this sounds like a lot of food, consider Lost Farm’s Thorny Berry x OG Kush Live Resin gummies — the OG Kush strain may give you the munchies.

Mamo

323 W Broadway, New York, NY 10013

Just steps from Yakiniku Futago, Italian nostalgia gets a 21st-century twist at Mamo. Make your excursion a true adventure with Mamo’s two- or three-course lunch prix-fixe menu, home to unorthodox salads, upscale pasta dishes, and classic Italian desserts. Spend a moment with Ruby Farms’ Ruby Rose Petal White Widow hash-infused pre-roll before you walk in — the White Widow cultivar shares Mamo’s nostalgic vibe.

Odd Sister

45 Mercer St, New York, NY 10013

Open for brunch and dinner, Odd Sister on the cobblestone-lined Mercer Street specializes in extravagant eats and handcrafted cocktails. Put a gourmet spin on sweet breakfast with the ricotta pancakes, comfort yourself with the crab linguine, and finish off with a tart, fruity sorbet. It’s an Odd Sister tradition to pair your meal with a cocktail, but if that isn’t quite your thing, stick with water and stir in MyHi’s Boisterous Berry Stir Stik for subtle sensations.

Le Botaniste

127 Grand St, New York, NY 10013

All the way at the eastern border of SoHo, you’ll find Le Botaniste, home to vintage-esque checkered floors and a fully organic, plant-based menu. Enjoy vegan takes on meaty dishes such as pasta bolognese and chili, or check the dessert menu for exceptionally nutritious brownies, cookies, and cakes. Contrast the sweetness with the fuel-like notes of Off Hours’ Super Sour Diesel all-in-one vape, which may leave you feeling uplifted, energized, and dreamy.

Arturo’s Coal Oven Pizza

106 W Houston St, New York, NY 10012

Located on the northeast corner of Houston Street and Thompson Street, Arturo’s Coal Oven Pizza pairs classic New York slices and Italian cuisine with live jazz. Here, you can split a giant mozzarella pie with friends or enjoy a sizable chicken parm sandwich all by yourself. The food and music alike pair blissfully with Dank by Definition.’s Space Jam flower, known to wash your body in lightness and looseness while taking your mind interstellar.

Yakiniku Futago

341 W Broadway, New York, NY 10013

Right next door to Little Ways is the Asian-owned barbecue restaurant Yakiniku Futago, which has hundreds of global locations but is a hidden gem in SoHo. Its group-sized hotpot dishes and individual platters with rare, upscale meats are fully worth their eye-popping prices. For an inexpensive boost, enjoy Lay Up’s THC-infused Limeade beforehand. It may provide a burst of balanced energy, and it costs all of five dollars.

Fun restaurants and cannabis: How to maximize the excitement

To make the most of cannabis and fun restaurants in SoHo, pace yourself, stay discreet, and get help choosing your cannabis products.

Start low and go slow. Consume a microdose or small dose of THC at first — between 1 and 5 mg. Then, wait for your product’s typical onset time to pass. If you’re still not feeling as strong of effects as you’d like, only then should you consume more. It’s always better to wait it out than to consume too much at first and feel overwhelmed.

Keep it discreet. The laws around where in NYC you can smoke cannabis ban smoking and vaping in restaurants. Instead, smoke or vape on sidewalks at least 100 feet from schools, daycares, libraries, hospitals, and churches. Alternatively, choose THC gummies and THC beverages since they look like everyday non-cannabis products. Or, since restaurants often don’t allow outside drinks, choose THC drink powders.

Ask for help when shopping. Licensed New York dispensaries carry hundreds of cannabis products, so it may feel challenging to figure out which ones best suit you. The friendly, smart budtenders at licensed dispensaries are more than knowledgeable enough to help you decide. At The Travel Agency, we and our budtenders pride ourselves in tailoring our guidance to your exact wants and needs.
