Superfly Dispensary: Grand Opening

A Joyful Homecoming on the Upper West Side

Superfly Dispensary is officially opening its doors to the public with a grand celebration on Wednesday, May 21st at 4:20 PM at 57 West 86th Street in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. More than a cannabis shop, Superfly is a heartfelt community hub that blends wellness, local creativity, and culture in one welcoming space.

From Restaurant Roots to Cannabis Retail

Founded by a team of lifelong Upper West Siders, Superfly’s story is a full-circle moment. The same team once worked side-by-side in the front-of-house of a beloved family-run restaurant in the neighborhood. That shared background in hospitality and community-building now comes to life in a retail space centered on music, creativity, and connection.

“Superfly is a tribute to the true essence of cannabis — not just the plant, but the culture and community around it,” says co-founder Dragan Ristovski. “We’re here to create a space where everyone feels welcome, whether they’re shopping for an elevated lifestyle, or just stopping by to connect.”

A New Kind of Dispensary

Superfly offers a thoughtfully curated selection of licensed New York cannabis products including flower, pre-rolls, edibles, and wellness goods. But what truly sets it apart is its commitment to community engagement. Through free, monthly events, Superfly will host game nights, live music, artist showcases, workshops, and panels centered on cannabis equity.

General Manager Dino Krezovjik says, “We want to be more than a store. This is a space where music, wellness, cannabis, and culture collide — even if you do not consume yourself.”

Grand Opening Highlights

The May 21st grand opening will feature:

• Live music and appearances by cannabis industry leaders

• Local food catering and light refreshments

• Exclusive Superfly merchandise

• Giveaways including vouchers for AIRE Spa days and electric scooters

This follows a soft launch on May 10th, allowing Superfly to quietly open its doors to the community and gain insight into local needs and interests.

Superfly’s Mission

Superfly is a love letter to the Upper West Side. Led by people who live in and care deeply for the neighborhood, the dispensary is committed to building something beautiful, responsible, and inclusive — not just for cannabis consumers, but for everyone.

“We’re proud to be building something meaningful in the place where our story began,” the founders share.

A Homegrown Experience

Superfly reflects the vibrant, eclectic energy of its neighborhood. With an emphasis on local hiring, neighborhood partnerships, and conscious cannabis consumption, it’s a place where people feel a sense of belonging.

“Superfly is not just a new storefront, it’s a homecoming,” the team adds. “A space built with love, by locals, for locals.”
