The Brooklyn neighborhood has everything—this shop is within walking distance of several bars and strip clubs, a cider house, a 24-hour greasy spoon, a 24-hour coffee shop, a cannabis club, and a theater. Thankfully, not everyone knows that yet, so lines are unlikely. Mostly catering to tourists thanks to Leafly advertising and the aforementioned location, Blue Sky feels much fancier than its space, which looks like a former used-car dealership. Look for bulk purchases of value strains or top-shelf product by the gram, because middle-of-the-road options aren't popular here.
