For that, and much, much more, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading for ideas to help you beat the heat and get outside while the getting is good!
WEEKLY FEATURED PRODUCTS
1. Ayrloom Rose flavored Cider – 10mg
Sure, along with summer time comes things like sweltering days and sweaty backs, but summer also brings about more pleasant things like parties with friends and sweet, delicious fizzy drinks. For the latter, we recommend the newest addition to our lineup of taste bud tingling Ayrloom infused beverages, Rose. This slightly tangy cider boasts ten milligrams of THC along with ten milligrams of CBD for a balanced, calming, enjoyable experience with every sip. Its flavor is a trio of fresh-pressed New York apples, bright and tangy citrus, and a full-bodied floral finish that will have you reminiscing about summers past. Stop by Terp Bros Astoria to try one (or more) and start making future memories today!
2. Rolling Green Flower – Sub Zero – 3.5g
When the summer sun in NYC is beating down and there seems to be no shade in sight, we start to look for anything we can to beat the heat. While the name Sub Zero implies cool temperatures, you’ll find no lack of heat with this flower. It is straight FIRE! However, while it may not cool you down physically, it might just get you high enough to start forgetting about how hot it is outside. The fresh notes of berries and candy terps fill the nose and make up the initial flavor notes, while the exhale is decidedly full-bodied with earthy, gassy notes on the finish. This strain is not for beginners, but it may leave you feeling like one after a few pulls. Oh man, we almost forgot to make a Mortal Kombat reference. That guy was cool, right? Do what you can to beat the heat (no ice) and get down to Terp Bros Astoria today to try Sub Zero for yourself!
3. Made In Xiaolin – The Godfather Cannagar – 12g
You come to us, on the day of our daughter’s wedding, and ask us for an absolutely over the top, amazing way to get insanely blasted with all of your friends? To you, we say “We got you.” Presenting The Godfather Cannagar from Made In Xiaolin. This complete UNIT of a pre rolled cannagar boasts twelve grams of potent, delicious cannabis and cannabis concentrate that was designed with connoisseurs in mind. A cannagar is no ordinary pre roll. It is pressed tightly around a wooden dowel, then wrapped with concentrate before its final layer. In this case, an extra large, unbleached cannagar paper with accents of real, 24kt gold. The dowel is then removed, leaving a hole down the center for slow-burning airflow. These cannagars make the perfect gift for a bachelor party, graduation party, or any get together with friends that love good smoke and have a taste for the finer things in life. Ten grams of top-shelf flower, two grams of live concentrate, and hours of smoke with the people you care about the most in life. A truly priceless experience available to you here at Terp Bros Astoria!
WEEKLY MUNCHIES HIGHLIGHT – Snowdonia Welsh Restaurant
Sometimes you just want good, home cooked comfort food with no frills. Something that tastes good and warms the soul, even when it’s pushing a hundred degrees outside. Snowdonia offers just that in a small, cozy environment that has been serving hungry and thirsty patrons of Astoria for years. While you may not be familiar with Welsh food, the classic flavors are ones that come naturally to most. They offer Welsh comfort food staples like Glamorgans which are fried cheese and leek “sausages” served over creamy mashed potatoes as well as Rarebit (not rabbit) which is a Welsh cheese served over toasted bread. Think grilled cheese, only more European. For those whose tastes are a little bit less adventurous, they also offer more widely appreciated dishes like charcuterie plates, house made chili, fried cod and chips, and an array of specialty burgers and sides that are sure to please any palate. To wash it down, try one of their many Welsh-inspired craft cocktails and organic wine options. There are just too many good things here for us to list them all, which is why we suggest you try out Snowdonia for yourself and head to Terp Bros Astoria to let us know what you think!
