The Silk Road NYC Record
Everything below happened at 166-30 Jamaica Avenue, on a date, with photographs or press to
match. We publish it here because a page we control cannot be reported away.
Queens has a lot of dispensaries now. Most of them opened after us, and a few have started running
the same kinds of nights we have been running since 2024 — art nights, game nights, dab
celebrations. That is fine. Formats travel.
What does not travel is a date. So this is the record, in order, with the receipts attached. Our
original Instagram account was mass-reported and removed, taking years of posts with it, which is
exactly why the history now lives on our own domain instead of a platform.
