House of Munchies debuts on 1st Avenue

The former smoke shop at 111 First Ave. south of Seventh Street recently transformed into House of Munchies, a "420 friendly" establishment offering a variety of accessories and snacks ... similar to the ones offered at other smoke shops, including the one a storefront away on the corner. 

No. 111 was previously Village Smoke & Vape, and before that, 111 Convenience Store ... until late 2012, it was 111 Convenience Store, which sold newspapers and postcards out front... with a variety of Polish-language periodicals.

  2. Sick of the smoke shops and now places that essentially augment them. All gutter-hole type business attracting a seedy element.

  3. New York City, a veritable adult "Disneyland" of weed shops, snack shops and stoners. Can't wait until the casinos put the final nail in the coffin for this town. I wonder what NY's new city slogan will be then? "Vapid City"?

  4. Disneyland indeed! In actuality, the EV in particular is fast becoming the new "Times Square" of weed. Kinda makes you nostalgic for the old porn shops...
