Waning Winter: A Terp Bros Newsletter

Welcome back you beautiful bud lovers, you! Did you miss us? We missed you here at Terp Bros, and to level with you, it’s the middle of the night before deadline day for this newsletter so we’re gonna hit the ground running if that’s alright with you. It’s been roughly a week since we last spoke in this decidedly one-sided relationship we’ve developed over the last year or so. That means it’s time to hit you with another hearty list of Queens eats, smokes, and small businesses worth checking out! Sit back, relax, and grab something to jot this all down with. Or just bookmark this page since it’s 2026.

WEEKLY FEATURED PRODUCTS

1. Black Rabbit Prerolls (Astoria)

Follow us, if you will, down a rabbit hole that ends with you finding the best four pack of top quality pre rolled joints on the market. Black Rabbit has created a name for itself in the flower market with the quickness, and for good reason. Their stuff is amazing. Consistently terpy and delicious. Consistently potent and visually stunning. To grow like that takes some level of intelligence and because they’re smart, they realised that not everybody rolls their own flower. So, if they want to bring their product to as many people as possible, they have to diversify a bit. Enter Black Rabbit prerolls. These things are not your ordinary prerolls. They’re made with the same amazing flower that Black Rabbit is known for, only rolled up into full gram joints for your smoking pleasure and convenience. Currently available here at Terp Bros Astoria in two strains. The Beef and Broccoli (Sativa Hybrid) boasts potent, gassy terps from its Chem and Sour lineage and the Sour Diesel is a true Sativa classic. All gas, no brakes. No matter which you choose (especially if you choose both) you’ll be coming back for more! Classic Beef and Broccoli issues, right?

2. Select 2.0 Vapes (Astoria)

Looking for a new vaporizer option? Maybe something that can be more tailored to your specific needs from a cannabis vape? Look no further than Select 2.0! They have a number of different vapes in numerous strains and flavors so there is really an option for every vape user out there. Need an Indica that will leave you on the couch for hours to come? Select Select 2.0! Looking for a heady and clear headed Sativa that will help you clean your house in the middle of the night? Not sure why you would want to do that, but you do you, and Select 2.0 will help you get the job done. Maybe you like a balanced Hybrid high that is perfect for any time of day. Regardless of what you happen to be looking for from a vape, Select 2.0 has the perfect product for you! Head to Terp Bros Astoria today to grab yours!

3. Puffco Products (Ozone Park)

If you like to do dabs, odds are you’ve heard of Puffco a few (hundred) times or so. Well, one more won’t hurt, right? Don’t worry. We won’t bother you with product specifics like how it’s the perfect lineup of portable dabbing devices for the stoner on the go that still values flavor and effect over convenience. And we won’t mention how even if convenience is your main goal, their long battery life and unique portability makes them the ultimate convenience purchase. We definitely aren’t going to waste any of your time letting you know that some of their devices even connect to your phone via the Puffco app, allowing you to remotely control the device temperature and settings. That would be a waste of our time because we know you know all of that, and a waste of yours because you’ve read it all before. No, instead we’re here to let you know that not only is their lineup of amazing dabbing products available here at Terp Bros Astoria, but also at our second location in Ozone Park! Stop by either Terp Bros location today to grab yourself a Puffco product to take the inconvenience out of getting baked!

4. Concentrates - Assorted Strains & Forms (Ozone Park)

If you get yourself a Puffco, or if you already have one, you’re gonna need something to smoke with it. Lucky for you, Terp Bros Ozone Park has a wide variety of concentrates for your dabbing convenience! Whether you’re looking for live rosin, live resin, sugar, or whatever you like to dab, Terp Bros Ozone Park is your one stop shop for all things concentrate. If you’re new to the dabbing world, we recommend starting with the Olio brand. They have a number of strains of live rosin that are terpy, delicious, and perfect for any dab lover. We don’t only have concentrates for dabbing, either. We also have bubble hash to smoke, as well as RSO and SHO sublingual concentrates. No matter what you need, Terp Bros Ozone Park has you covered!

WEEKLY RESTAURANT HIGHLIGHT(S)

7th Street Burger on Ditmars (Astoria) Opening Soon!

When it comes to burgers, the true champion is still up for debate. Whether your favorite spot takes four or more guys to cook a burger or you prefer them shaken, not stirred, there are countless contenders for burger gold lining the streets these days. One of the newer entrants in the race for smashed and griddled greatness is 7th Street Burger. Pairing perfectly pressed patties with fully loaded French fry options, their deceptively small menu packs flavors bigger than most! For that reason, they have been popping up faster than gas prices. Topical. However, even our own block of Ditmars here in Astoria is about to get another 7th Street, so there has to be something to it, right? Absolutely. If you haven’t had it yet, and you claim to be a loyal patron to another burger spot in the city, you owe yourself at least one visit to see if you might just be missing out. For your first try when they open, we recommend a single smash classic and a side of fries. Nothing beats the old school combo. For those looking to try something slightly different, check out their loaded burger fries that take their crispy, golden fries and load them with chopped smash burger patties, cheese, onions, and burger sauce. A delicious spin on a classic flavor profile you need to try for yourself to fully understand. If you live near our Astoria store, you’ll have one to try in the next few weeks! Let them know we sent you when you stop by!

Dar Al-Yemen - Halal Yemeni Cuisine (Ozone Park)

Sometimes you go to a restaurant and the food is great, the service is awesome, yet you still feel like there was something missing. That something is called ambiance, and it’s more important than you might think. This is something the amazing people at Dar Al-Yemen know, which is clear from before you even walk through the front door. The architecture screams Yemeni cuisine, and once you pass through the stone archway out front, you’re fully transported out of Queens and into a small local Yemeni restaurant. It’s not a huge place, but the flavors are enormous! They serve delicious and traditional Yemeni dishes that are sure to have you coming back for more. Usually, we highlight the best few options we think you should try at each spot. However, this time we think it’s best to leave it up to you. There truly is no wrong way to go. All of their soups, starters, main dishes, and even desserts pair well together. A true middle eastern choose your own adventure style meal experience. Warm, comforting soups and stews, fragrant, perfectly cooked rice, marinated meats and vegetables cooked with precision. No matter what you choose, you’ll be happy and so will your belly! Let them know we sent you when you check them out!

Small Business Spotlight(s)

For our restaurant highlights, we tend to heavily favor sit down spots serving savory dishes that make for perfect spots to bring friends or loved ones for a night out. That being said, Queens is also home to some of the most amazing sweet shops of every cuisine imaginable. Shan Sweets is a great example of one of the many places in Queens where you can try sweets and treats from another cuisine that you may have never had before. Indian and Punjabi desserts are heavily spiced, aromatic, and perfectly balanced with subtle sweetness. If you’ve never tried sweets from another culture, you’re missing out. Sometimes it’s easy to box ourselves in with flavors and experiences that are already familiar to us. However, the foods we find comforting are only comforting to us now because we tried them once for the first time in the past. By that logic, the more things you try, the more likely you are to build up a bigger list of foods you can consider comforting. When that happens, you’ll  start to find that it’s easy to feel good no matter where you are. We think a perfect place to start with branching out when it comes to food is sweets. It’s tough to mess up something sweet, and cultures pride themselves on their desserts, so it’s usually a good representation of the cuisine itself. They often highlight traditional flavors and pair them with uniquely sweet flavors and varied textures. Listen to us. Basically just describing the general idea of a dessert. The truth is, there’s no better way to convince you that the food is good than for you to try it first yourself. We’re confident you’ll be back again to try something new soon!
