Welcome back, Terp squad! It’s Tuesday once again and as you already know, that means it’s time for us to lace you up with another week’s worth of fun and fire! Light up that morning doobie and pull out the notes app because you won’t want to miss any of the heat we’ve got lined up for you this week. From new products and strains to look out for here at Terp Bros Astoria (and Ozone Park soon too) to where to hang out and which spots have the best cure for the munchies near you. We aim to show you just how much is going on in your neighborhood (or at least close by) so you never feel an ounce of boredom. Feel an ounce of weed instead! As always, thanks for reading and don’t forget to check back every Tuesday for a new list of restaurants, events, and products hitting the shelves here at Terp Bros!
WEEKLY FEATURED PRODUCTS
1. Space Poppers Infused Popcorn – 100mg Bags (~2mg/piece) Assorted Flavors
There’s just something so nostalgic about popcorn in all its variations. From hot, freshly buttered popcorn by the handful at the movies, or that triple flavor tin we all got from that one relative that never really knew what to get us for Christmas. Popcorn inspires fond memories of the past and makes us hopeful for new ones that have yet to be made. Now it’s also a way you can get high! That’s right, the new Space Poppers brand of infused popcorn are roughly two milligrams of THC per piece, and 100mg per bag. That makes dosing your high as simple as, well, eating popcorn. Be careful, though. These flavors are mouthwateringly delicious so it may be tough to put down the bag! Available in Sweet Chili, Sea Salt Caramel, and Chicago Style (cheese and caramel mix) there is a fun, freshly popped flavor for everyone! Head to Terp Bros today to pick yourself up a bag (or three) and see which is your flavorite!
2. Jetty Live Rosin Carts and Disposables (0.5g & 1g options, Assorted Strains)
Let’s face it, rosin is the future of concentrates. You can’t beat something that involves no chemical solvents in the extraction process. That means all you’re getting is THC, terpenes, and no fillers or trace elements of harmful chemicals. For this reason, the second featured product this week is the new line of live rosin carts and disposables from Jetty. The half gram disposables come in a sleek pen style that doesn’t take up too much pocket space. Full gram carts are few and far between from any brand when it comes to rosin, but they have a few available including Hash Burger, Papaya, and Tropical Queen and they all hit like Holyfield before the bite. Come try one (or all three) here at Terp Bros today! While supplies last!
3. Assorted Glass & Accessories (Multiple brands and products)
Weed is great, hash is fun, and concentrates are amazing. However, there is one thing that all of these have in common. Aside from the fact that they all get you high. Also, I guess they’re all available here at Terp Bros, too. Alright, so they have quite a few things in common now that we’re thinking about it. One more thing they have in common is that they all require some kind of accessory to properly enjoy them. From papers to bongs, dab rigs to bubble caps, accessories are the things that allow us to enjoy the plant we love so much. Lucky for you, here at Terp Bros we have a wide variety of accessories available. Need a new bong? We got you. Need some cones for that ounce you’re picking up? No problem. We’ll add those in for you! Regardless of what accessory you need, we likely have what you’re looking for. If not, let us know and we’ll try to get it for you if we can!
WEEKLY RESTAURANT HIGHLIGHT – WHITE BEAR (FLUSHING)
White Bear in Flushing is one of those restaurants that got famous for doing one thing really well. That, in itself, is a story as old as time. A bakery that makes the best bread. A pizza place that cares enough to buy the right ingredients because they know it will make the difference with every bite. Some places simply care about the level of quality of their food and the experiences their customers have more than others. Those are the few that rise to the top and become beacons of flavor for the hungry masses. White Bear is one of these places for their steamed pork dumplings with hot sauce. It’s simple food, done exceptionally well. In fact, this isn’t even the first time White Bear has been mentioned in our newsletter. First, it had a brief mention in the Flushing food crawl section because no trip to Flushing is complete without some of these piping hot, juicy, flavorful pockets of joy. Because of this, we decided they deserved their own shout out so that there is absolutely no doubt in your mind as to whether or not they’re worth the trip. They are. They’re steamed to perfection, set on a styrofoam plate or paper tray, covered with their homemade hot sauce and chili crisp then topped with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Nothing but simple, clean ingredients cooked with generations of knowledge behind every move. The shop is small and unassuming, so you might miss it if you aren’t looking for it. Keep your eyes peeled and your taste buds ready for a new favorite spot!
WHAT TO DO IN QUEENS THIS WEEK!
1. Alabama Shakes LIVE @ Forest Hills Arena – 9/17 – 7pm
Alabama Shakes are a soulful young band full of old souls. Their sound is unique and fun and their shows are always a blast! If you’ve never heard of them, do yourself a favor and check them out. Once you do, you’ll understand why we’re suggesting you go. If you can find a ticket, that is. Their shows regularly sell out and their fans are loyal. However, if you do manage to score some tickets, it’s guaranteed to be one of the most fun shows you’ve ever been to! Forest Hills Arena also has a lot of concerts and shows, so if you can’t find tickets to this one, there is sure to be an act there soon that you want to go see!
2. Karaoke Mondays – Albatross Bar – Every Monday, 9pm Sign Up Time
Do you have what it takes to grace the stage and belt out a ballad like the pros? Us either. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have just as much fun! Karaoke is a way we can all feel what it’s like to be the star of the show. Even if it is only for a few minutes at a time. Albatross bar here in Astoria hosts a Karaoke night every Monday for those looking to sing and dance the night away with friends! Karaoke not your thing? Not to worry! Albatross also hosts all kinds of events most nights of the week and happens to be one of the most fun clubs in not just Astoria, but all of Queens! Grab your girlies, wear something cute, and rock the stage at one of the hottest clubs in the city! Who says you’re not a star? You are to us!
Well, once again we find ourselves at the end of another jam packed newsletter full of fun, fire, and saucy, spicy dumplings. No worries though! Like always, we’ll be back next Tuesday with another list of delicious treats (infused and otherwise) as well as what’s happening and where to hang out in Queens next week too. Whether it’s in the store, out in Flushing getting some of the best dumplings on the planet, at a show, or singing your heart out at Albatross on Monday, we hope to see you soon! As usual, if there are any products you’d like to see in the shop, events you’d like to see shouted out in the future, or restaurants you think we just have to try, shoot us a DM on Instagram. We love hearing from you! Until next Tuesday, stay high Terp squad.
