We currently deliver throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. We are very quickly expanding our delivery territory, so stay tuned. When you order delivery from our store, you may notice a different company logo on the bag. Doobie is The Travel Agency’s delivery courier and our sole delivery provider. So when your order arrives and you see Doobie’s logo instead of The Travel Agency’s, it’s OK: Doobie is our official delivery service.
YES, we are one of the first legal adult-use dispensaries to operate in New York.

- TESTING – all the products we sell have been tested for impurities – such as germs, toxins and metals by a NYS licensed laboratory. The results of those tests are clearly visible on every package;
- BETTER INFORMATION – yso you know exactly what you’re consuming including the THC percentage, and what other cannabinoids and terpenes are in the product;
- BETTER EXPERIENCE – by consuming safe, high quality tested products where you know exactly what cannabinoids and terpenes are present, you increase the likelihood of having a great cannabis experience.

'No need to worry, please enjoy the experience, have fun, ask lots of questions and let our budtenders guide you based on your personal needs. You have a few options when shopping at the The Travel Agency from in-store purchasing, to pre-ordering online, and delivery. But as a newbie, you probably want to speak to a budtender and let them guide you.
Pay with cash or debit.
No Tap-To-Pay, no credit card (we know).
If you prefer cash, we have ATMs in our stores. (Fee on all debit transactions.)
Pre-ordering is great when you know what you want. Simply place your order through our website, then pay via cash or with a debit card when you pick up in the store.
Nope! When you come to the store, we will check your ID to verify that it's you picking up your pre-order.
People 21 years or older can consume cannabis in a private home or in most places where tobacco is consumed, except in a motor vehicle, a private business (e.g., restaurant patio), a hookah or cigar bar, or on federal property. Never drive under the influence of cannabis. When transporting cannabis, it must be in a sealed container.
People 21 years or older can “share” cannabis without compensation with another person 21 years or older under the legal possession limit. However, the sale of any service or commodity associated with sharing (so-called “gifting”) is prohibited.
You can’t smoke on federal lands (that means don’t bring your cannabis to a federal park). Although cannabis is legal in New York, it’s still federally classified as a Schedule 1 Drug, making it not okay to be anywhere that’s federally controlled. Cannabis also cannot be transported across state lines
All of our cannabis THC and CBD products are grown and processed in New York State. We endeavor to support and purchase products and accessories from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and women-owned businesses.
There are many ways to consume cannabis. If it’s your first time, it can be overwhelming. Let your budtender guide you, but here’s a primer:
- Flower – you grind, you roll it, you smoke it! But there’s lots of different strains now which all give you a different high and feeling. You can purchase flower in different amounts (typically by the gram, by the ⅛ or by the ¼ ounce) or in pre-rolled joints.
- Edibles – cannabis that you “eat/drink”. There’s lot of types of edibles these days including gummies, pills, chocolates, caramels, and even drinks. It can take a while for the edible to affect you, and it varies person by person, so take your time and don’t digest too much too soon.
- Tinctures – tinctures are an effective way to deliver a precise dose of THC. Tinctures are made using a solvent like alcohol to extract important terpenes and cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Tinctures are often used for use cases that require consistent and repeated dosing.
- Concentrates – Cannabis plants are covered by microscopic, mushroom-shaped, hair-like compounds called trichomes which surround the budding flower and produce the plant’s cannabinoids. Trichomes can be collected and made into concentrates, including extracts and dabs. Concentrates can contain very high levels of THC. Concentrates can be vaporized and inhaled using a vape pen or by dabbing (smoking highly concentrated cannabis oil). Concentrates and extracts are quite similar. Concentrates come in varying textures such as shatter, badder, budder, and crumble.
- Topicals – Externally applied to the body, topicals are great for the consumer seeking help with pain management, anxiety and stress. Topicals are made with CBD or THC extracts and used for a variety of benefits; pain management, anxiety and stress.
We recommend starting with a small amount the first time to learn your personal limits. Edibles can take a few hours to fully metabolize, so start with 5mg (or one serving), wait 2 hours, and see how you feel. Smoking flower produces effects more immediately.
There are many terms for cannabis, including weed, marijuana, and pot, but the word cannabis reflects the plant’s scientific name.
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds in cannabis that interact with receptors in your brain and body, creating various effects. Over 100 cannabinoids have been identified, with THC and CBD being the most common.
THC: Typically, when people refer to cannabis, they mean THC—the compound that produces a euphoric 'high.' The percentage shown on labels is relative to other components, not the total amount.
THCA is a naturally occurring acid that has no intoxicating effects until it’s heated (and then it turns until THC). The percentage value of THCA on a label represents the amount of THCA present. THCA has many potential healing benefits for arthritis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and other ailments. While raw cannabis won’t leave you intoxicated, many people juice raw cannabis leaves for the many benefits found in THCA.
CBD is yet another cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, and is the second most abundant after THC. CBD is non-intoxicating and has many potential therapeutic benefits such as anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, analgesic, and pain management. You will also find a CBD percentage on cannabis labels. If you want a CBD dominant product, look for products with low THC or ask one of our budtenders for help!
