Dispensaries in Yonkers, NY are concentrated rather than scattered. The state license register lists seven operating licensed shops in the city as of 2026, the most of any Westchester municipality, and most of them sit along one road. For adults 21+, that makes Yonkers the county's easiest place to compare shops in a single trip, and New York's third-largest city has a waterfront garden and a river museum to round out the day.
Central Park Avenue: the main corridor
Four of the seven run along Central Park Avenue, the commercial spine that climbs from the city's south end toward the Scarsdale line:
- Skones Dispensary, 743 Central Park Avenue, on the southern stretch, open since early 2026.
- Yonkers Dream, 2245 Central Park Avenue, one of the city's first licensed shops, open since 2024.
- A licensed dispensary at 2371 Central Park Avenue, open since 2024.
- The Plant, 2595 Central Park Avenue, at the north end near the Scarsdale border. Some map apps give it a Scarsdale mailing address; it is in Yonkers.
The upper Central Park Avenue cluster puts three licensed shops within a short drive of each other, which suits comparison shopping.
Elsewhere in the city
- Budr Cannabis, 887 Yonkers Avenue, on the east side.
- Green Bar, 471 McLean Avenue, along the Bronx line, open since early 2026.
- A licensed dispensary at 305 Saw Mill River Road, on the west side, open since 2024.
Several more Yonkers businesses hold licenses that were not yet operating on the register as of 2026, including locations on Warburton Avenue and South Broadway. Until they open, the list above is the working map.
For scale: White Plains has six operating licensed shops on the same register, Mount Vernon three and New Rochelle two, so Yonkers carries the deepest bench in the county. The city never opted out of retail or of future consumption sites, which leaves room for more.
Before the visit
- Verify first. Verify licensed status via the OCM QR code at cannabis.ny.gov. A storefront's look says nothing about its license, and the check takes seconds.
- ID. A valid government photo ID showing 21+: any US driver's license, a passport from any country, or US military ID.
- Limits. Adults can possess up to three ounces of flower and 24 grams of concentrate.
- Edibles. State rules cap edibles at 10 mg of THC per serving and 100 mg per package. Start low, go slow.
- Tax. A 13 percent retail cannabis tax applies, 9 percent state and 4 percent local, and cannabis is exempt from regular sales tax.
- Hours. They vary by shop and day, and third-party listings often lag. Check the shop's own site before driving.
Untermyer Gardens
Yonkers' standout afternoon is Untermyer Park and Gardens at 945 North Broadway, a restored estate garden above the Hudson with a Walled Garden, a long Vista down toward the river, a Temple of Love and a Rock and Stream Garden. Admission is free every day, with no timed tickets for ordinary visits. The gardens open at 9 AM and close at 6 PM through November 1, then at 4:30 PM from November 2 into March, with last entry 30 minutes before closing. It is a city park, and New York state law prohibits cannabis consumption on state-owned land and in public spaces.
Hudson River Museum
At 511 Warburton Avenue, the Hudson River Museum pairs art and local-history galleries with a planetarium. It is open Wednesday through Friday from noon to 5 PM and weekends from 11 AM to 5 PM. General admission is $15 for adults, and planetarium shows on Saturdays and Sundays at 12:30, 2 and 3:30 PM are an add-on ticket. First Fridays run 5 to 8 PM with free admission.
Making it a Yonkers day
The efficient version: Untermyer in the morning, the museum after lunch, and the shop stop on Central Park Avenue on the way out of town toward the Sprain or the Bronx River Parkway. Visitors arriving by Metro-North get off on the Hudson Line along the river, closer to the museum and gardens; the Central Park Avenue shops are a car or cab ride east.

The rules that come with it
Purchases stay sealed for the drive. Cannabis cannot be consumed in a motor vehicle, even parked, and driving impaired is illegal. State guidance also rules out businesses, restaurants including their patios, and most public and state parks. Yonkers allows retail shops; New York has issued no on-site consumption licenses as of 2026, so there is no licensed lounge to visit. What's on around the county is on the events calendar.
