WEEKLY FEATURED PRODUCTS

1. Higher Vibrations Flower - 7G Jars - Assorted Strains

There are a lot of different things you can do to achieve higher vibrations in your personal spiritual journey.

3. Flav Mega Belts - 100mg - Assorted Flavors

Sometimes, you just want a cheap edible that’s gonna get you stoned so you can forget the day you just had. Maybe you spent an hour on a train stuck in a tunnel with a non-stop showtime performance. Perhaps you stumbled trying to evade a stray pigeon on a collision course with your head and dropped your eleven dollar coffee on your fresh-out-the-closet Uggs. God forbid, you may have even had to climb the stairs at Broadway Junction because the escalator wasn’t working. In this city, any number of things can go wrong and make you want to just reset and start all over. While we may not be able to help you travel back in time, we can definitely offer you a budget-friendly edible option to take your day from awful to awesome! The Mega Belts from Flav offer a 100mg punch in a single belt that is intended for multiple servings (wink, wink) in a number of delicious flavors! Current lineup includes Blueberry (indica), Strawberry (sativa), and Rainbow (hybrid). A flavor and effect for everyone, no matter how much disgusting mystery subway platform water dripped on your head. Yeah, we saw that. And we saw you try to play it off like it didn’t happen. It’s okay. A Mega Belt from Flav and a nice warm shower and you’ll be on your way to trying again tomorrow. We believe in you!

WEEKLY RESTAURANT _HIGH_LIGHT - MANOR OKTOBERFEST

Sure, it might seem convenient that it’s the middle of October and we chose a restaurant to highlight that just so happens to have the word ‘October’ in the name, albeit spelled differently. The fact of the matter is, regardless of what month we’re currently in, this place is worth checking out. Nestled in West Forest Hills, it’s almost directly between our two locations in Astoria and Ozone Park, so no matter which of our stores you’re closer to, it’s a viable lunch or dinner option after you pick up some goods here at Terp Bros! So, why this place? Simple. Bavarian comfort food. Need we say more? Yes? Well, alright then.

This place offers amazing, traditional Bavarian dishes like meat stuffed Farmer’s Crepes covered in a mildly spiced paprika gravy, or the smoked bacon on a stick. Also, no visit to a Bavarian restaurant is complete without a giant pretzel and beer cheese to dip it in! Not a fan of more traditional Bavarian food or bringing along a picky eater? Not to worry! They also serve classic staples like delicious deli style sandwiches stacked high with juicy meats and fresh veggies as well as classic appetizers like onion rings, hot wings, and so much more. However, our recommendation is to try something new! That’s part of the fun of eating out, after all. For our recs to make the perfect meal at Manor Oktoberfest, we’ve got nothing but heat!

First, obviously, you’ve got to start with the giant Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese and a tall frosty mug of the beer of your choice to pair with it. Then, the Krainer Wurst, which is a slightly spicy sausage infused with melty cheddar cheese. If you’re still hungry, you can’t go wrong with their traditional Saurbraten, which is thinly sliced roasted beef with a tangy, savory brown sauce, served with Spaetzle, a traditional Western European pasta and a side of red cabbage. Also, and this is a MUST, you need to get the side of pickled vegetables. Their bright, tangy acidity is the perfect pairing for the heavier, more savory entrees and starters! For those with a sweet tooth, they don’t have a steady dessert menu, but depending on the time and day you visit, they may have traditional Bavarian desserts and pastries available as well! No matter what you get here, you’ll be back again and again to try something new because it’s all that good! When you stop in, tell them Terp Bros sent you!

WHAT TO DO IN QUEENS THIS WEEK

1. Cityside Pumpkin Patch - Summer Club - LIC (Oct 3 - 31)

Something about a pumpkin patch this time of year is magical. We aren’t going to try and deny it. The smell of cinnamon in the air, hot fresh apple cider donuts, and kids running and playing while trying to find the perfect gourd to take home and stab repeatedly because tradition. While there is an undeniable charm to a pumpkin patch, for those of us living in the city, it can be hard to get out of town for a day to snag the perfect Halloween pumpkin. For that reason, the Summer Club in LIC has transformed their rooftop into a fall themed Halloween wonderland for local families to enjoy! Now that fall magic can be felt right here in Queens and with a stunning Manhattan skyline view. Pro tip, try to get there about fifteen minutes before sunset for even better fall vibes and city views!

1. New Material Night: A Stand Up Comedy Show - Q.E.D. Astoria - 10/23 - 9pm

Stand up comedy is one of the oldest, purest forms of live entertainment and it leaves nothing between the audience and the performer. This can often lead to nerves for performers, which is part of the reason stand up comedians repeat jokes over and over. For one, it helps you learn in real time which parts of the joke work and what to tweak next time, but it also offers a cushion once jokes have been worked out. It’s always nice to have something that has been tested in your back pocket for a quick, easy laugh in a pinch. However, some of the most fun moments for crowds and performers alike are those when the comedian tries out a new, untested joke for the first time. It’s a moment of immense vulnerability and when it works, the magic of that moment is felt by everyone in the room. Because of that, and in the interest of continuing the futile human tradition of trying to capture lightning in a bottle, Q.E.D. Astoria has started an all new show in which every joke told by every comedian on the lineup is brand new and completely untested. Come on through this Thursday at 9pm for a night of fun, laughs, and magical moments!
