Good afternoon, good evening, or good night, Terp Bros fam! We don’t know when you wake up or read this and we don’t judge! Nor’easter? I hardly knew her! All jokes aside, we got spared this weekend from what could have been another absolute dumper of a storm and even though the air is still as cold as the arctic, the heat on the shelves here at Terp bros will keep you warm until temps start to climb again! Sit back and relax while we set you up to have a great week ahead and grab a pen and paper to jot some of this down? No pen and paper? No worries! Just head outside, grab an icicle and carve it into the frozen snow bank. You got this!
WEEKLY FEATURED PRODUCTS
1. Spacebuds Blueberry Muffin Moonrock Ounce (Astoria)
If you know, then you know. At least that’s what they always say and we never know what they’re talking about. However, what we do know is that moon rocks are the perfect way to elevate your flower smoking experience. Moonrocks are top shelf buds dipped and coated in concentrate to give you a supercharged high with every hit! The Blueberry Muffin from Spacebuds delivers heavy, sedative Indica effects while still being enjoyable for even the most committed sativa smokers. Until now, they’ve only been available in the four gram bags. At last, for those who love to smoke, we salute you with the new full ounce jar that will have you coughing and cracking up for days (or maybe even weeks). Head to Terp Bros Astoria today to snag yours while supplies last!
2. Rolling Green Flower – NYC Sour Diesel (Astoria & Ozone Park)
The beast is back. Ok, that makes it sound like something negative is happening. Quite the contrary. Rolling Green’s NYC Sour Diesel (AKA East Coast Sour Diesel) is finally back by popular demand! This flower is pungent and powerful. It packs a gassy, diesel forward finish and intensely heady sativa effects. This stuff is not your granny’s Sour D. Unless your granny gets down like that and if so, she’s probably already on her way to Terp Bros to get some before it sells out (again). Now, do what you need to do to beat her there and use the flower as leverage to get more quality time with Granny. High time is quality time, and you might even get some homemade cookies too. If so, you’re welcome!
3. Heavy Hitters Edibles – Assorted Flavors (Ozone Park)
Sometimes you want your edibles to hit a little heavier. When you need an edible that hits heavy, head to Ozone Park for a pack of heavy hitters edibles. Say that three times fast. Better yet, get ready to go fast and head to Terp Bros Ozone Park to grab yourself a pack of gummies that hit twice as hard (or heavy) as most other edibles on the market! These five packs are filled with twenty milligram gummies that pack a punch like Holyfield guarding his last good ear. Available in five mind bending flavors including Midnight Cherry (Indica), Strawberry Storm (Sativa), Green Crack (Sativa), Holy Grape (Indica), and Atomic Apple (Hybrid). There’s something for everyone in the Heavy Hitters lineup! Head to Terp Bros Ozone Park today to get yours!
WEEKLY RESTAURANT HIGHLIGHT
1. Trinciti Roti Shop (Ozone Park)
In the mood for a burst of flavor your taste buds won’t soon forget? Look no further than Triciti Roti Shop in Ozone Park! From doubles to roti to currant rolls, Trini food will warm your soul from the inside out, and Trinciti has some of the best in the city. To start, we suggest their house made chicken soup. It’s delicious and has layers of flavors that will make you smile against your will. Plus, it’s made in house every day. Next, obviously, we have to recommend their doubles. Warm, pillowy bread. Spiced and saucy chickpeas seasoned to perfection. Amazing homemade sauces. You honestly can’t get any better. Looking for something slightly more substantial? Their oxtail, curry chicken, bake and shark, and many other entrees will leave you full and happy. The two most important and cherished feelings. Needless to say, if you haven’t been to Trinciti Roti Shop in Ozone Park before, you’re missing out. Do yourself a favor and try it out today!
2. Astoria Provisions (Astoria)
Astoria Provisions is a breakfast and lunch restaurant in Astoria offering classic breakfast staples and amazing sandwiches and finger foods to hungry Astoria locals with service you will remember for meals to come. Speaking of meals to come, here’s how we suggest you craft your order when you visit. First, skip the classics (at least on the first visit) and go for something on the wilder side. Our favorites are the Nashville Hot Chicken and Biscuits and the Peanut Butter and Banana French Toast. The fried chicken is juicy and tender with the perfect amount of spice. The biscuits are buttery and flaky and melt in your mouth from bite one. The French toast is next level. House made brioche bread stuffed with peanut butter and sliced bananas, topped with more bananas, maple syrup, and optional whipped cream. As if it’s really an option in our minds. As for sandwiches, their KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) Sandwich and Pork Belly Cubano are both must try dishes. Both come with succulent juicy meats, expertly crafted sauces, and perfectly paired sides. Regardless of what you order, you’ll be planning your second trip before you even get up from the table.
QUEENS SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT – Old and New Shop – Parkside
Small businesses are the backbone of both the economy and our community. They’re stores and restaurants run by real community members that live in your neighborhood. Patronizing a small business near you is a great way to help your neighbors and keep your money where it matters! Plus, you never know what you’ll find at a small local business. Sure, big box stores are convenient, but they’ll never be able to care for you in a way that your neighbor will. That being said, we found a great local small business we think you should check out soon!
If you live near or are visiting the Parkside neighborhood of Queens anytime soon, stop by Old and New Shop to check out some of their thousands of unique goods. From home decor to furniture to one of a kind pieces of art, Old and New Shop has exactly what you had no idea you were even looking for. They have a huge variety of lamps and assorted lighting fixtures from limited edition Magic Schoolbus lamps to vintage 1970s lounge chairs that light up when you sit on them. Who doesn’t need that? Also, they don’t just carry one off rare items. Looking for previously owned clothing? They got you suited and booted. Need a working singer foldaway sewing machine table? They’ll lace you up quick. Have a craving for obscure records your uncle would either curse or cry at if he heard them? You’re covered there, too. Looking for what we mean by that last example? Keep looking! No time for explanations here. There’s too many great deals and fantastic finds at the Old and New Shop in Parkside Queens! Stop by today, support an amazing local small business, and grab yourself some fantastic goods in the process. As always, make sure to tell them Terp Bros sent you!
Well, here we are once again. Another Tuesday has come and gone, and with it, another packed list of what to smoke, where to hang out, and what businesses to patronize whether you’re in Queens! As always, thanks so much for reading each week. If you didn’t, this would be super weird and we’d probably have to stop writing them. Nobody wants that! If you find yourself thawing out enough to stop by either of the stores, we’d love to see you! But, if it’s just too cold to shake off the snow and leave your house, just order a delivery and let us bring the fire to your door. Figuratively, of course. Already looking forward to catching back up next week. Ok, love you byyyyee!
