This year, 4/20 falls on the same day as Easter Sunday, so you'll be able to ascend in more ways than one. For years, cannabis was driven underground, but in the past few years since weed was legalized in New York state, 4/20 has become a proper celebratory event. From large outdoor gatherings hosted by some of the coolest new weed brands out there, to a luxurious cannabis lifestyle store that just opened in Chelsea, there's no better time to light up than now.

Additionally, here's the rundown on everything you need to know about marijuana legalization in NYC. You may gain some extra inspiration from watching the best stoner movies and best weed songs.

Just remember to mind your manners with these weed etiquette tips from the Emily Post Institute. To keep the buzz going, check out the following 4/20 events in NYC.

Gotham is gearing up to open its fourth location on April 19—just in time for 4/20—and this time, they're setting up shop at the corner of 10th Avenue and 19th Street in Chelsea.

The Chelsea location of Gotham will have the brand's first-ever street level art gallery to further their commitment to platforming artists, while also giving a nod to the surrounding neighborhood. The first exhibition to open in the gallery on 4/19  will be "The World is Yours," a collaborative exhibition by rapper Nas and the design studio, Objects Are By. That showcase will include never-before-seen photos of Nas from 1994 and other treats for hip-hop heads.
