No other licensed dispensary in New York was showing films in its lounge when Silk Road started doing it. The night people still talk about was Belly, the 1998 Hype Williams film with DMX and Nas, screened with Rich Ford, an associate producer on the film, in the room commenting live on scenes as they played.

The lounge lights drop, the screen comes on, and the room is full of people who actually love the film. When someone who helped make it is sitting in the front row telling you what happened between takes, it stops being a screening and becomes an event. That is the Silk Road version of a movie night.
Silk Road was built as a community space before it was a store. Game nights, paint nights, tournaments and screenings are how a neighborhood dispensary earns its regulars, and no chain is going to fly in a producer to talk you through a classic. See what is on this month.
Movie nights run in the lounge at 166-30 Jamaica Ave. Entry is 21+ with ID and free with a purchase. Dates are posted on the events page and on Instagram. Ask at the counter to be told when the next one is.
