The former Bong World is for rent on 14th Street
Just closing the loop on the Bong World world... as the storefront is now for rent at 226 E. 14th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.

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.

This shop may not be long for this (Bong) world
Your whole Bong World just may be turned upside down.
The gate remains down at Bong World, 226 E. 14th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue (though BWWers — Bong World Watchers — have told us they keep offbeat hours).
Now, there's trouble in the form of an eviction notice on the gate... dated this past Tuesday with an order to vacate the Bong HQ by Aug. 30...

If this turns out to be a permanent closure, we don't know where people will go now for smoking accessories in the neighborhood.

World party on 14th Street: Hello, Bong World!
There's a new business signage reveal at 226 E. 14th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue... please welcome — Bong World! (Thanks for the photo, Pinch!)
As we understand it, the new business will be specializing in low-pitched, resonant sounds of the kind made by a large bell. Bong! Or maybe water pipes to enjoy dry cannabis flowers.
The landlord here split the retail space in half. The other side remains on the rental market. (What will pair well with a bong shop?)
The previous tenant, Williamsburg Pizza, decided not to reopen this spot during the pandemic. The pizzeria's other locations remain in service.
