Union Square Travel Agency: Over a Century of Cannabis Culture in Manhattan

The Union Square Travel Agency (USTA) is a unique and historic institution in the heart of Manhattan’s East Village . Founded in 1882 by Josiah Lamp , the year after he founded the Union Square Lamp Company, the USTA was created with the mission of providing access to the finest smoking lamps and other accessories from around the world.

Josiah Lamp had traveled extensively in search of the highest quality smoking lamps and other accessories, and founded the Union Square Travel Agency to allow others to share in the wonders he had seen. The USTA was originally located at 835 Broadway in the East Village near Union Square, which is the very center of cannabis culture in Manhattan.

In the early years of its existence, the Union Square Travel Agency provided a variety of travel services in addition to selling smoking lamps and accessories. However, as times have changed, so has the focus of the USTA. Today, the Union Square Travel Agency no longer provides travel services, but instead brings the adventure to New Yorkers by selling premium cannabis flower and genuine smoking lamps from around the world at affordable prices.

The Founding of the Union Square Travel Agency

Josiah Lamp was an entrepreneur with a passion for cannabis and a love for travel. He spent years traveling the world, seeking out the finest smoking lamps and accessories from every corner of the globe. It was during these travels that he realized that not everyone had the opportunity to experience the same level of quality and craftsmanship that he had been fortunate enough to find. Many of these Exotic Smoking Lamps are still sold by the Union Square Lamp Company, many from Josiah’s personal collection. 

Determined to share his discoveries with others, Josiah decided to open the Union Square Travel Agency (USTA) in 1882, the year after he founded the Union Square Lamp Company. The USTA was founded with the mission of providing access to the finest smoking lamps and other accessories from around the world.

Through the Union Square Travel Agency, Josiah wanted to give people the opportunity to experience the same level of quality and craftsmanship that he had been fortunate enough to find on his travels. He wanted to share his passion for cannabis and his love for travel with others, and the USTA was the perfect way to do it.

Josiah’s extensive travel experiences and his desire to share the wonders he had seen with others led to the founding of the Union Square Travel Agency. The mission of the USTA is to provide access to the finest smoking lamps and accessories from around the world, making the unique and beautiful products found on his travels available to everyone.

The Location of the Union Square Travel Agency

The location of the Union Square Travel Agency at 835 Broadway in the East Village, Manhattan holds a significant place in the history of cannabis culture in the city. The East Village has long been known as a center of counterculture and alternative lifestyles, making it the perfect location for a business like the USTA.

The location at 835 Broadway, was the site of the old Union Square Lamp Company factory, which was also founded by Josiah Lamp in 1881. This location was a natural choice for the USTA, as it was already well-known as a destination for people interested in cannabis culture and accessories.

Furthermore, Union Square Park which was just a few blocks away, has a long history of cannabis consumption and activism. In recent years, Union Square Park has also become a hub for cannabis culture in New York City, with people gathering at the flagpole in the park at 4:20 pm to smoke cannabis, which has become a popular tradition. Additionally, Union Square Park is known for the presence of commonly accepted marijuana dealers who regularly sell in the park, making it a destination for cannabis enthusiasts.

The Union Square Travel Agency Today

The Union Square Travel Agency (USTA) has undergone a significant evolution since its founding in 1882. Originally, the USTA provided a variety of travel services in addition to selling smoking lamps and accessories. However, as times have changed, so has the focus of the USTA.

With the legalization of cannabis in New York state in 2021, the USTA has transformed into a cannabis dispensary that provides premium cannabis flower and genuine smoking lamps from around the world at affordable prices. The USTA has now shifted its focus to providing easy and affordable access to cannabis products to the community, which aligns well with its mission of providing access to the finest smoking lamps and accessories from around the world.

Today, the Union Square Travel Agency no longer offers travel services, but instead brings the adventure to New Yorkers by selling premium cannabis flower and genuine smoking lamps from around the world at affordable prices. The USTA has become a one-stop-shop for cannabis enthusiasts and curious first-time users alike. The store offers a wide selection of cannabis products, including flowers, edibles, tinctures, topicals and accessories, and the knowledgeable staff is always available to answer any questions and provide product recommendations 

In conclusion, the Union Square Travel Agency (USTA) is a unique and historic institution that has been a part of the cannabis culture in Manhattan for over a century. Founded in 1882 by Josiah Lamp, the USTA was created with the mission of providing access to the finest smoking lamps and other accessories from around the world. The USTA has evolved from a travel agency to a cannabis dispensary, providing premium cannabis flower and genuine smoking lamps from around the world at affordable prices. The Union Square location of the USTA at 835 Broadway in the East Village, Manhattan holds historical significance and continues to be at the very center of cannabis culture in the city. The USTA not only offers the finest smoking lamps and accessories from around the world, but also provides a unique and welcoming environment for cannabis enthusiasts and curious first-time users alike.

The Most Beautiful Stations on the Moscow Metro

You might have heard that there are some beautiful metro stations in Moscow. Soviet decorations, chandeliers, mosaic painting and statues are common in many of the stations. The good news is that the Moscow Metro does not cost a lot of money and many of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro are on the same line, so you can almost get on and off at each station to visit these. Over the New Year holidays, I had a free afternoon and decided to visit some of these stations. Check out what I found below…..

The main stations that you will want to visit are on the Number 5 line, also known as the Circle Line. An advantage of this line is that you can get to it very easily and quickly no matter where you are in Moscow. The announcements on the metro are in Russian as well as English so you don’t need to worry if your Russian language skills are not good.

If, like me, you arrive in Moscow via train from Kyiv , then you will arrive at a metro station which many Muscovites believe to be the most beautiful of them all…..

Kievskaya metro station was opened in 1954 and features white marble walls which curve upwards and have with large mosaics surrounded by a gold trim in a very classical style. The mosaics depict life in Ukraine and was designed by a Ukrainian who wanted to display Ukraine’s influence and contribution to Soviet Russia.

People carrying flags is a common theme

Going into battle

Belorusskaya

If you look at a map of the metro , you will want to go in a clockwise direction on the circle line. So you will want to get on the train going in the Barrikadnaya direction and not Park Kultury. Stay on this line until you reach the 2nd station, Belorusskaya. This station was built in 1952 and like Kievskaya also features white marble pylons and a plaster ceiling.

The ceiling features 12 mosaics in an octagonal shape depicting Belarusian life, while the tiling on the floor is said to resemble a Belarusian quilt. One of the passageway exits of the station has a statue called ‘Belarusian Partisans’ of three men wearing long coats, holding guns and carrying a flag.”

Mayakovskaya

To get to the next station, we need to change onto the green line (line 2) and go just one stop to the station of Mayakovskaya. This station has an art deco theme and, for some, resembles an elaborate ballroom. The columns are faced with stainless steel and pink rhodonite while the marble walls and ceiling have 34 mosaics with the theme “24-hour Soviet Sky. Apparently, Stalin resided here during the 2nd World War as the station was used as a command post for Moscow’s anti-aircraft regiment.

Novoslobodskaya

It’s time to get back on the metro and return to Belorusskaya. At Belorusskaya, change to the circle line again and continue clockwise to the next station, Novoslobodskaya. With its 32 stained glass panels, this station reminds me of a church. The panels were designed by Latvian artists and are surrounded by a brass border.

The golden trim around artwork is also very common

Prospekt Mira

Back on the metro and again just one stop until our next station, Prospekt Mira. This station was originally called Botanichesky Sad after the nearby Botanical Gardens of the Moscow State University. The pylons are covered in white marble and decorated with floral bas-relief friezes. The ceiling is decorated with casts and several cylindrical chandeliers.

Notice the floral decoration

Komsomolskaya

On the metro once more and once more we are going just one stop to the next station – Komsomolskaya. This station is famous for its its yellow ceiling. The chandeliers in this station are huge. The photos below do not do this station justice.  For me, this station resembles a presidential palace.  You hace to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it.

Because of it’s location, this is one of the busiest stations in the Moscow metro as it serves three of the main train stations in the city – Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky, and Kazansky so be prepared for a lot of people.

The yellow ceiling seems to go on forever

Elektrozavodskaya

When you are ready to leave Komsomolskaya metro station behind, then get back on the circle line and go one stop to Kurskaya and change to the blue line (line 3) and go to two stops to the Elektrozavodskaya station. This station gets it’s name from a nearby electric light bulb factory and has a somewhat industrial but also futuristic style, with 6 rows of circular lamps (there are 318 lamps in total). I think this is one of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro for how unique it is. The station was opened in 1944 after a delay because of the 2nd World War and features 12 marble bas-reliefs of the struggle on the home front during the war.

Ploschad Revolyutsii

Back on the metro line 3 (but in the other direction), getting off at the 3rd stop – Ploschad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). This is located underneath the square in Moscow of the same name and is a short walk from Red Square in the city centre. It is the perfect place to end a visit around Moscow’s metro. The station features red and yellow marble arches with a total of 76 sculptures in between each arch. The sculptures are supposed to represent the people of the Soviet Union and include soldiers, farmers, industrial workers, children etc… I noticed a lot of people touching the golden chicken in the photo below as well as the show of the woman. I am assuming that this is for good luck.

These are some of what I think are the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro. Which ones are your favourite? Would you add any to this list?

Kievskaya definitely caught me off guard. Didn’t know Moscow metro stations were THIS extravagant! Mayakovskaya is gorgeous too with the marble walls and mosaics. I might just need to book a flight over to admire all of these!

Do it! Kievskaya was my first introduction to the Moscow metro as I got an overnight train from Kyiv.

You know, in the States, all we ever hear is bad stuff about Russia. It’s nice to see other (and lovely!) dimensions of such a controversial place.

It’s the same in the UK which is why I prefer going to see somewhere and making up my own mind. It’s all ‘politics and bullshit’ as I say

I went to Moscow about 13years for Christmas and went to train stations, so I can see these amazing mosaics and chandeliers. I agree with you that are beautiful Stations for sure and I could of wandered around for days. I think Kievskaya is definitely my favourite out of them all and I even have some similar pictures as you.

I imagine Moscow would have been a little different 13 years ago but these stations have probably always looked beautiful

Food and Footprints

You chose some great stations for this write up! Beautiful details in these stations and would love to visit them sometime. Particularly like the Komsomolskaya station with that yellow ceiling!

Thank you very much. Komsomolskaya seems to be a lot of peoples favourite stations too

Sumit Surai

Wow! Without the text I would have thought them to be some museum or gallery.

I know exactly what you mean!

Rosie Fluskey

Wow, it is just stunning! How does anyone get to work with so much to look at. I’m surprised at the very bourgeois-looking Komsomolskaya station. I would have thought it was all too Tzarist looking, but then I haven’t been to Russia yet lol. This has just made me want to go more!

Wow, that’s a lot of artwork. I wonder how old some of these pieces are?

Generally most of the stations are from 1940-1960 approximately. The later stations are more functional than style.

My mother-in-law was in Moscow fifty years ago and still raves about the metro stations. So far, I could not imagine much. But now! The pictures are great and I think it’s almost a pity that this splendor is underground. But for every user of the Metro can enjoy a free trip to the world of art. Susanne

True. It is like having a free trip to an art museum/gallery. I hope that you can one day visit Moscow and see for yourself.

Oh wow, I would never have known that these were metro stations. The ceilings remind me of how you need to look up sometimes, even in the commuter rush!

It is true about life in general, we just go from A to B looking directly in front of us instead of around us

Wow, I would have never guessed that these were stations. The decor is so pretty and not one I’m used to seeing at metro stations. Love the ceiling at The Komsomolskaya metro station.

They certainly don’t look like metro stations. The ceiling there is one of my favourites too!
