NEW YORK (WABC) -- When New York State started licensing dispensaries like Alto on Chambers Street, part of the goal was to right the wrongs of the past.
Gov. Kathy Hochul is promising that 89 licensed cannabis dispensaries in New York City, and dozens more statewide, will not be forced to shut down after the state’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) announced that those retail dispensary locations are out of compliance with the state’s proximity rule
NOTE: Alto is still open currently.
Da Monte S. Giovanni Campano a New York dove è diventato imprenditore della cannabis e ha costruito un impero: Guido Savocchi si racconta
Lower Manhattan’s first legal cannabis dispensary is here, and it’s a family affair.
Smoking a joint with your siblings is a sacred teenage tradition, something that bonds you across clouds of smoke—a furtive secret you all keep from your parents. For the five Savocchi siblings, it seemed an innocent enough past time during their childhood in Queens. But it was also prequel to their eventual entry into New York’ adult-use cannabis industry.
The Savocchi family founded Alto with a mission that is as deeply personal as it is ambitious. Drawing on their shared commitment to community and social justice, they envisioned a dispensary that seamlessly combines top-tier cannabis products with an inviting, community-driven atmosphere.

The neighborhood’s first legal cannabis dispensary has opened on Chambers: Alto (I was slow on the uptake but of course it means “high’ in Italian) is among the 190+ dispensaries now open in the state and about the 35th in Manhattan. They opened on August 31 and will host an official grand opening on Oct. 10.
