Happy Terp Year: A Terp Bros Newsletter

BY: BILL WALLIS

Welcome back, Terp Fam, and congratulations! You made it through another holiday, and you’re just a couple of days from wrapping up yet another year. For making it through another year without completely losing it on somebody (maybe), you deserve a treat! But what treat should you get? Not to worry! Terp Bros has all of the self-care products you could ever need! That’s right, we’re back again with another list of what to smoke and where to kick it after! From entertainment to food, we’ve got you covered! Kick your feet up by the heater vent, but get ready to move because while it may be a frigid wasteland outside, the heat on the shelves here at Terp Bros is only getting hotter! As always, thanks so much for reading each week and giving us a reason to keep promoting this amazing borough and all it has to offer its wonderful residents!

WEEKLY FEATURED PRODUCTS

1. Hashtag Honey (Assorted Products) One thing in the New York cannabis market is painfully clear. People who like to get high here in the Big Apple need options. Hashtag Honey heard that and said, “Say less!” For that reason, Hashtag is one of the most diverse and frequently purchased names in our stores. Why? Simple. Because they have something for everyone. Flower lovers can smoke to their heart’s content with jars from an eighth up to a full ounce, and the bud is most assuredly worth the price! Flower not your thing? No worries! They also make a delicious line of fast-acting edibles to keep you high and never dry. Not into flower or edibles? No problem! Hashtag Honey also makes disposable vapes in multiple strains. Both one- and two-gram options are available here at Terp Bros!

2. Camino Chews (Assorted Flavors & Effects) Camino has been a top player in the gummy game for years. Now, they’re bringing an entirely new product to the New York edibles market. Camino Chews are an entirely new experience when it comes to edibles. Not a baked good (well, sort of) and not a gummy. They remind us more of those delicious, square-shaped, juicy bites we all know and love. The only difference? These ones get you high! That’s right! Ditch your gummies and try out the new Camino Chews today! Currently available at Terp Bros in four amazing options. The Golden Peach (recover) and the Pineapple Paradise (bliss) are delicious hybrid options with CGB and CBC added, respectively, giving each chew a slight boost that can improve mood, reduce stress, and bring about a giggly, relaxing good time! The Forest Berry (energy) is a sativa that will leave you ready to tackle the day ahead and have fun while doing it! The Boysenberry (soothing sleep) blends THC with natural CBN to help you drift off into a relaxing, restful sleep that lasts all night. No matter your edible needs, Camino Chews has you covered!

3. Holiday Vaporizers (Assorted Strains) 1g Sometimes, we don’t always have the time to roll up. Maybe we’re between trains or late for an important meeting. Does that mean your need or want for a nice, warm buzz is less important than days prior? Of course not! For that reason, we suggest the line of Holiday brand vapes for a discreet, quick way to get where you need to be while enjoying delicious flavors and fantastic highs in the process. These vapes pack a punch with THC levels in the high 80s to mid 90s, and we’re not talking about the Grunge takeover. The shape of the Holiday vapes is similar to those _other_ vapes, meaning nobody will necessarily know what you’re puffing on if using it in public. Also, we carry a full line of their vapes here at Terp Bros, meaning whether you’re an indica lover or a sativa lover, they have the perfect device for you!

WEEKLY MUNCHIES _HIGH_LIGHT - BARKADA SOCIAL CLUB

Astoria is a beacon of food diversity, even in a city that is basically the same thing for the rest of the world. However, some people think (incorrectly) that Astoria doesn’t have much to offer in the way of Asian food. This simply is not true. All you would have to do is read through a handful of our previous newsletters to know that Astoria is as diverse a food neighborhood as any. You just have to know where to look. This week, we suggest you look in the direction of Barkada Social Club. They’re offering up fantastic Filipino flavors that will have you wondering if you’re still in the US. Yeah, it’s that good. You may walk out the door after your meal and expect to be in the Filipino wilderness. No such luck. You’re still in Queens. But that’s good news, because BSC is right here in Astoria, so you can get tongue-tingling Filipino flavors any time you want! Here’s how to make the best of the menu. First, their burrata salad with poached pears is a game changer. Rarely do we suggest you not skip a salad on a menu, but seriously, this one is worth trying out. For appetizers, you can’t go wrong with classics like crispy fried Lumpia and Sinigang Fried Chicken Wings with a tasty Filipino tamarind dry rub. For something new, try their vegetarian Heart of Palm Calamari with a chipotle mayo sauce for dipping. Finally, the mains. From burgers to fish to steak and classic Filipino street food, you will not be disappointed with anything you choose! Our suggestions are the melt-in-your-mouth Pork Belly Kare Kare with spicy peanut sauce and roasted veggies, as well as the Pancit, which is an egg noodle dish that will leave you feeling so comforted you may be compelled to ask your waiter for a blanket to take a nice, cozy nap. Please don’t. No matter what you get, you’ll be happy and full when you leave. For that reason, we highly suggest you check out Barkada Social Club today! Make sure to tell them we sent you!

WHAT TO DO IN QUEENS THIS WEEK

Much like last week, our suggestion section this week is a bit more simple. Christmas and Chanukah may be over, but we still have one last holiday to make it through before we can officially say goodbye to 2025. That’s right! Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and you know what that means. Soon, Times Square will be filled with aimlessly meandering tourists clogging sidewalks and intersections as well as confetti that may or may not have people’s personal and private information on it. Remember that? Crazy. That being said, our suggestion this week for what to do is to just take it easy. The holidays are almost over, you did great, everyone loved your gifts, and it’s almost time to hit the reset button and start the whole thing all over again! This can be a bit stressful for some, and we totally understand. That’s why we aren’t suggesting any specific events or activities this week. We know that just making it through the year can be a lot for people, and the last thing we want to do is make anyone feel like they have even more they need to do. Instead, we just suggest you relax. We aren’t saying you shouldn’t celebrate. You should. Just do it in a way that makes sense for you and where you are in your life currently. If that means you dress up, go out with friends, and drink until you can’t remember your own name, then do that (responsibly). If it means staying in and soaking up those last precious moments of your Christmas tree before societal norms make you feel like you have to take it back down, do that. Whatever ringing in the new year means to you, do that. Also, if you need any THC products to help you finish the year off right, we have you covered here at Terp Bros!

We did it! We made it through another Terp Bros newsletter, and with it, another year! We could not be any more thankful that you stuck with us through the year and continue to shop with us here at Terp Bros. Our goal is and always has been the same. Bring high-quality, affordable cannabis products to the wonderful people of Queens. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to do just that and for welcoming us into your community. We can’t do any of what we do without you, and we are more appreciative of your business, care, and love than you could ever know. We feel it every day, and all we can hope to do is reciprocate that as best as we can! Thank you so much for an amazing 2025, Terp Bros fam! Here’s to another great year full of terps, friends, love, and admiration for this beautiful borough we all call home. Happy New Year, Terp Bros. See you in 2026!
