Happy whatever day we dropped this newsletter, Terp homies! We're back, as always, with another stacked list of cool stuff going on right here in Queens! Thanks so much for coming to see us at our [third annual block party](/events/ditmars-after-dark) this past weekend! It was so much fun getting to catch up and kick it with all of you! You guys made it what it was, we just provided the space for it to happen. Whether you're looking to scoop the newest, hottest products on the shelves here at Terp Bros, find local hidden gem restaurants, or just get a weekly dose of nonsensical, stream of consciousness style writing, we got you! This week has been a chilly one, hasn't it? Fall really said, "Oh, you thought I was playing? Bet." However, if the cold has got you feeling bummed, don't fret! The heat on the shelves here in Astoria and in Ozone Park is more than enough to keep you and all your smoke buddies warm through the next four or so cold months. Don't believe us? Check these out!

Weekly Featured Products
Fernway Banana Bread Vapes - Cart & Disposable (Astoria)
Indulge us for a moment, if you will. Close your eyes. Wait, no. That doesn't work. You still need to be able to read. Use your imagination. Yeah, then you can keep your eyes open. You're a kid walking up the steps to your grandmother's house. It's cold outside, and you're focused on the sound the snow makes as it crunches under your boots with each step. The door opens and you're hit with a double burst of warmth and an overwhelmingly pleasant aroma. It's sweet and spiced, nutty, and altogether unmistakable. That is Grandma's banana bread.
That is also the exact sensation that you'll get with each pull of Fernway's newest hit, Banana Bread. These things hit every flavor note. Warm and buttery, sweet but not too intense. Nutty and banana forward. This is nostalgia in a vape, and the balanced hybrid effects will allow you to enjoy it long enough to decide you simply can't go on without another hit! Get your dose of sweet nostalgia today at Terp Bros Astoria!
Hysteria Chocolate - Pumpkin Spice Flavor (Ozone Park)
It's officially the season! No, we aren't talking about fall. We're talking about Pumpkin Spice Season! From lattes to cookies to edible underwear, there is no realm of food or drink this blend of flavors hasn't infiltrated over the years. At least, we thought so. For the longest time, cannabis edibles were free of the scourge of pumpkin spice, but alas, nothing lasts forever. Hysteria has officially dropped a pumpkin spice edible chocolate bar, and, as much as we wanted to hate on it, we can't. It's actually delicious.
It thrusts you into the Fall spirit whether you like it or not with each bite. We messed around and ate the whole thing. Woke up in a scarf we've never seen before and greeted by a labradoodle we didn't know. We're telling you, these spices in combination have been known to make people do things they never would have otherwise. Don't think we're being serious? Come to Terp Bros Ozone Park and get one for yourself! You'll see. You'll fall in love with it and buy them all and then we won't have any for anybody else. And we're perfectly alright with that. See you soon!
Minny Grown Drinks - Assorted Cocktail Inspired Flavors (Astoria)
Looking for an exciting and fun alternative to a classic margarita or cosmo? Feeling a little Sex On The Beach without the accompanying headache and nausea on the toilet the next morning? Minny Grown has finally answered the call. Sure, other cannabis brands have made drinks before. However, none of them really seemed designed as an alcohol replacement or alternative. Enter Minny Grown.
Their new line of cannabis beverages are designed and formulated to taste super similar to the cocktails you're used to, only with cannabis instead of alcohol. You can get a pack of these for your next get together to give your guests more options, or just grab a few for yourself as a way to unwind after work without the headache (literally and metaphorically) that comes along with drinking alcohol. The flavors are also delicious. They have a Sex On The Sandbar, Lemon Drop-lets, Ohhh My Minnarita, and Boat Cruise Cosmo. No matter your reason for wanting a cannabis cocktail, we don't judge. We only encourage you to try Minny Grown if you haven't already. Get yours today at Terp Bros Astoria!
Gotti Disposable Vapes - Assorted Strains (Ozone Park)
Gotti is a name we all know. Let's not talk about what we used to know the name for, and move on to what the family would like to be known for going forward. Their cannabis company. This stuff is no joke. Truly potent and flavorful. Trust us, we weren't born yesterday. This stuff is so good, you won't forget about it any time soon. We're walking here. Sorry, we had to do it. In all honesty, we really are amazed by the quality of the product that these guys are putting out. The flower is gas, and the vapes are as well.
Current lineup of disposable vapes from Gotti available at Terp Bros Ozone Park include the Lemon Cherry Gelato (Hybrid), the Cherry Piex Perm (Hybrid), the Perm x London (Hybrid), the Zkittlez x Limez (Hybrid), the OG x Garlic (Indica), and the Lemontree x Garlic Cookies (Sativa-Hybrid). No matter what kind of high you're looking for from your disposable vape, Gotti has you covered. Wow, never thought we'd be writing a sentence like that, but here we are. And we couldn't be more stoked about it! Head to Terp Bros Ozone Park to grab one (or six) today!
Weekly Restaurant Highlights
HinoMaru Ramen (Astoria)
The weather is officially getting cold again. You know what that means, don't you? It's soup season! From broccoli cheddar to minestrone, soup is the best fall food to keep you warm and full. We happen to think that ramen is a top contender for best soup in the world. The richness, the flavorful broth, the fresh veggies, the stewed tender meats. It has everything you could ever want from a soup, PLUS it has amazing handmade noodles that have the perfect bounce and chew. Now, while not every ramen restaurant is a true gem, HinoMaru definitely is. Don't want to take our word for it? No problem, maybe the Michelin guides that recommend the ramen at HinoMaru can sway your decision more effectively.
Lucky for you, if you live anywhere near us here at Terp Bros Astoria, it's only a short walk away from our front door. Their menu is extensive and each item is as delicious as you want it to be when you read it to yourself at the table before placing your order. Everything hits. Nothing falls flat. Our personal recommendations for a meal at HinoMaru include the Pork Belly popcorn and Crispy Chicken Skin for appetizers. The chicken skin is light and airy with the perfect crunch that gives way to delectable melt in your mouth flavor. The Pork Belly popcorn is like popcorn chicken, only replacing the chicken with perfectly tender chunks of braised pork belly. Like deep fried bacon, minus the trashiness of the state fair, plus the elegance of a Michelin recommended ramen spot. For your ramen, we suggest the signature HinoMaru Ramen. It blends their Hakata-style creamy pork bone broth base with a house curated blend of fresh veggies and slow braised pork slices. You can't beat mochi for dessert, either! Make sure that when you check them out, because we know you will, you tell them we said hello!
Beijing Dumpling (Kew Gardens)
Looking for authentic Chinese cuisine outside Flushing or Manhattan's Chinatown? Fret not, weary, dumpling loving soul. We got you. Head to Kew Gardens (we know) and go to Beijing Dumpling. There you will find what you've been looking for. From the no frills exterior, we knew immediately we were in for a great meal, and we were not wrong.
Everything here hits. The steamed and fried dumplings are amazing, obviously. The filling is perfectly seasoned, generous, and the skin on them was neither too thin nor too thick. A true balancing act that not a whole lot of restaurants can nail unless they're the real deal. The great flavors don't stop there, though. They also make amazing steamed and fried pork buns, hand pulled wide noodles with amazing house made sauces, and so much more! Some of our favorites are the steamed pork dumplings, the hand pulled noodles with spicy Szechuan peppercorn sauce, and the sesame pancake sandwiches. They are all loaded with delicious meats and fresh, crunchy veggies. You will not be disappointed! Tell them we sent you!
