The First Dispensary in New York With Bidets

It sounds small until you have used a restroom in most other dispensaries. Silk Road NYC installed bidets in its restrooms when it opened in February 2024, the first licensed dispensary in New York to do it. The reason is personal: founder Sohan Bashar grew up in a Muslim household where cleanliness is not a preference, it is a daily practice, and he built the store to that standard.

Where the standard comes from

In the Islamic tradition the founder was raised in, washing with water is part of everyday cleanliness. Silk Road did not treat that as a private habit to leave at home. It became the baseline for the whole building: the restrooms, the lounge, the counter and the dab bar are held to the same standard the founder holds himself to.

What that looks like in the store

Bidets in the customer restrooms, not just staff.
Restrooms checked and reset through the day, not once at closing.
A lounge you can sit in for an hour without wanting to leave.
A dab bar run by people who care how the glass looks before you use it.

Why a dispensary should care

Cannabis retail in New York is new and a lot of stores were built fast. Silk Road was built by one owner who planned to be here for decades, and the details show it. If a store thought about the restroom, it thought about the rest.
