Bong World is officially cashed on 14th Street

Unfortunately, ownership of Bong World at 226 E. 14th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue could not resolve the back-rent issues with the landlord. 

An eviction notice arrived on Wednesday...
... and the interior of the shop is in the process of being packed up...
... a few items remain, including a topless and armless female mannequin in an orange camouflage hat...
Bong World debuted here to some fanfare in March 2022. 

Several readers have asked for recommendations for other local businesses that sell smoking accessories. 

Unfortunately, we're unaware of any other place in the immediate area that sells, say, rolling papers/trays, dab rigs, bubblers, or exotic Cheetos snack collections sourced from China, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and India.

    You can always use home delivery if you can't find a smoke shop.
