Flying to New York from Owen Roberts International

If you just landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport or you're planning your trip from George Town, Cayman Islands to New York City and wondering where to find legal cannabis — the answer is simple: head to any of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State carrying Silly Nice. We're a Brooklyn-based, Black-owned, Veteran-owned cannabis brand, and we're exactly what you're looking for.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and since then the legal market has grown into one of the most exciting in the country. Adults 21 and older can legally purchase cannabis flower, concentrates, vapes, and more from licensed dispensaries across New York City and the state. You do not need a medical card. You do not need to be a New York resident. You simply need to be 21 or older with valid government-issued photo ID.

What matters here — especially if you're visiting from the Cayman Islands — is that you are purchasing only from licensed adult-use dispensaries. These are state-authorized retailers that carry lab-tested, compliant products. Do not purchase from unlicensed vendors or gray-market shops. The licensed market exists to protect consumers, ensure product quality, and support brands like ours that went through the full licensing process. Always look for the New York State licensed dispensary seal. And remember: cannabis is for adult use and enjoyment once you've arrived and settled in New York — never in transit or at any airport.

The flight from Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town, Cayman Islands to John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York typically runs around three and a half to four hours depending on your routing. Once you land at JFK, you've got options to get into the city: the AirTrain connects directly to the NYC subway system at Jamaica Station or Howard Beach, or you can grab a rideshare or taxi. The subway is cost-effective and gets you into Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond.

Once you're checked into your hotel or Airbnb and ready to explore what New York has to offer, Silly Nice is waiting for you. We're distributed statewide — which means whether you're staying in Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, Harlem, Astoria, or anywhere across the five boroughs, there's a licensed dispensary near you carrying our products. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest retailer before you even step out the door.

We are Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, New York. We launched in March 2024, and in a short time, we've placed our products in over 150 licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. That kind of growth doesn't happen by accident. It happens because we care deeply about what we make and who we make it for.

Silly Nice was built by co-founders Shane Breen — a U.S. Army Veteran — and LeVar Thomas, two partners with over 25 years of history together. Everything we do comes from a place of authenticity, community, and an uncompromising standard for quality. We are proudly small-batch. Every product we release is lab-tested with Certificates of Analysis available publicly at sillynice.com/menu. We take our craft seriously because you deserve to know exactly what you're consuming.

We're not a faceless corporate brand. We're a family operation rooted in New York City culture. When you buy Silly Nice, you're supporting a brand that represents something real — a story built on partnership, service, and love for the craft. If you're visiting NYC from the Cayman Islands and want to experience what the best of the licensed New York cannabis market looks like, we're the brand to find.

If flower is your preference, this is the highest-expression option in our lineup.
