How Flower Reaches Long Island City From the Astoria Store
Flower bound for Long Island City (ZIPs 11101 and 11109) is packed and dispatched from the Terp Bros NYC Astoria store at 36-10 Ditmars Blvd, roughly two miles north of the LIC waterfront. Drivers run the order south down 21st Street, the main north-south spine that ties Ditmars to Hunters Point and Court Square, for a flat $5 delivery fee (free over $100) with no order minimum. Build your order on the Astoria menu, prepay through Dutchie Pay, and have a 21+ government-issued ID ready when the driver reaches your door.
The Route: Ditmars to the LIC Waterfront
A typical Long Island City flower run leaves 36-10 Ditmars Blvd and heads south on 21st Street or 31st Street through Astoria and Ravenswood, passing the Queensbridge Houses, before fanning out across Hunters Point, Court Square, and the Center Boulevard high-rise corridor along the East River. The same surface streets the store uses to reach the Queensboro Bridge are the streets that feed every LIC drop.
21st Street is the workhorse. It runs almost straight from the Ditmars end of Astoria past Queensbridge Park into the heart of LIC, meeting Jackson Avenue near Court Square and connecting to 44th Drive. From there the driver branches: west toward Vernon Boulevard and 50th Avenue and the Gantry Plaza State Park blocks, or into the Hunters Point South glass towers off Center Boulevard and 5th Street. Court Square drops pin to the Citibank tower at 44th Drive and 21st Street; riverside stops near the Pepsi-Cola sign use Center Boulevard as the spine. Dispatch keeps these cross-streets on file so a doorman lobby, a Jackson Avenue walk-up, or a loft conversion in the old industrial blocks each routes the same clean way.
Because LIC sits directly between the Astoria store and the neighborhoods further out on the 7 line, it is one of the closer runs the Astoria team makes. Adjacent zones the same store covers, Astoria to the north and Sunnyside and Woodside to the east, route off the same dispatch board, so an LIC order rarely waits on a driver tied up across the borough.
Peak-Hour Reality on This Run
The LIC corridor is busiest in the evening because the neighborhood is dense with residential high-rises that all empty out and refill after the commute. Order before 7pm and the 21st Street run stays quick; orders placed closer to the 9pm same-day cutoff land in the thick of bridge-approach traffic feeding the Queensboro Bridge, which can stretch the trip. Mid-day and weekday afternoons are the fastest windows.
The pinch point is geography, not the store. The Astoria-to-LIC route shares pavement with everyone funneling toward the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge and the Queens Plaza interchange, so when bridge traffic backs up at the evening rush, surface speed on 21st Street and Jackson Avenue drops with it. None of that changes the flat $5 fee or the free-over-$100 threshold; it only changes the clock. For flower in hand at a specific time, order earlier and let it queue rather than racing the 9pm cutoff. Delivery is prepay-only through Dutchie Pay, with nothing handled at the door, which keeps each LIC stop short.
Which Flower Formats Suit the LIC Run
Every flower format on the Astoria menu handles the LIC route fine since it is a short, sealed run, but sealed jars (3.5g, 7g, 14g, 28g) and pre-ground options are the steadiest for high-rise drops where a driver may be meeting you in a lobby. The menu shows live stock, format, effect tags, and the batch lab report for every item.
Hunters Point and Court Square are vertical neighborhoods, so most LIC deliveries end in a doorman lobby on Center Boulevard or a glass-tower entrance rather than at a stoop. That favors product easy to verify and hand off fast: jarred eighths and quarters, sealed singles, and shake tubs for anyone rolling their own. The Astoria rotation leans on New York licensed cultivators and refreshes weekly, with indica-leaning options for winding down, sativa-leaning for daytime, and balanced hybrids for anytime. Filter the menu before checkout so the handoff is a quick confirmation, not a browse.
How to Order Flower for LIC Delivery
Open the Astoria menu, filter to flower, choose delivery, enter your LIC address (11101 or 11109), and prepay through Dutchie Pay; the driver runs it south from Ditmars to your block. Same-day cutoff is 9pm.
- Open the Astoria menu and filter to flower
- Sort by effect, potency, or format

Questions LIC Customers Ask About the Delivery Run
The recurring questions from Long Island City flower buyers are about routing and timing, not product: how the run reaches a high-rise, how late they can order, and why the evening trip runs longer. Answers are grounded in the actual Astoria-to-LIC route.
*Where does my LIC flower order ship from?* The Astoria store at 36-10 Ditmars Blvd. There is no Terp Bros storefront inside LIC. Drivers run orders south down 21st Street into 11101 and 11109.
How late can I order for same-day? Before 9pm. Earlier is faster because you skip the evening bridge-approach traffic around Queens Plaza.
Can the driver meet me in a doorman lobby? Yes. Center Boulevard towers and Hunters Point South high-rises are routine drops. Add your building or a landmark in the notes and the driver meets you at the entrance.
How do I pay? Delivery is prepay-only via Dutchie Pay; nothing is handled at the door. In-store, cash or debit.
How LIC Compares to Other Astoria-Routed Zones
Long Island City is one of the closer Astoria-dispatched runs because it sits directly between the store and the rest of the 7-line neighborhoods. Adjacent zones like Astoria, Sunnyside, and Woodside route off the same board with similar timing, while further-out Queens addresses run longer. Every delivery is flat $5, free over $100, prepay via Dutchie Pay, 21+ ID at the door.
The Astoria store dispatches the north and west of Queens; the Ozone Park store at 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd handles the south and east. LIC, Hunters Point, Court Square, Queensbridge, Dutch Kills, and Blissville all fall under the Astoria run down 21st Street. Every flower SKU carries a Certificate of Analysis from a NY State certified lab, is logged through BioTrack, and is sold under CAURD license OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) or OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park); the COA is linked on each product page on the menu. The cannabis delivery page maps the full footprint, and the Astoria location page covers pickup.
