Dispensary on the A Train Rockaway
Terp Bros NYC is the closest CAURD-licensed cannabis dispensary to the A-train Rockaway line in southern Queens. Our Ozone Park store at 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd sits a short walk from the 111th Street A stop and is fully open to adults age 21+ with valid government-issued ID, seven days a week from 10am to 10pm.
The A train to the Rockaways is the main subway artery serving Ozone Park, Howard Beach, Broad Channel, Rockaway Beach, and Far Rockaway, and Terp Bros NYC is the nearest licensed dispensary along the line. Shoppers can pre-order from our online menu for pickup in 15 to 30 minutes, walk in for in-person guidance, or schedule same-day cannabis delivery to any A-line neighborhood we cover. The Ozone Park store operates under NY OCM license OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) / OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park), and every product on the shelf has been lab-tested under NY OCM standards before it reaches a customer. Avoid unlicensed shops you pass on Liberty Avenue or Rockaway Boulevard. Licensed product is safer, traceable, and accountable to New York cannabis law.
What Is the A Train Rockaway?
The A train is the MTA's longest subway route, running from 207th Street in Inwood, Manhattan, through Brooklyn, and into southern Queens. The Rockaway branch splits at Rockaway Boulevard Station and crosses Jamaica Bay to serve the Rockaway peninsula via Howard Beach-JFK, Broad Channel, and nine beach stations.
The Rockaway branch of the A is one of the most scenic subway rides in New York. The line leaves the elevated Ozone Park tracks, crosses the North Channel Bridge over Jamaica Bay, and runs south along the peninsula, passing dune beaches and the boardwalk. Howard Beach-JFK serves as the transfer point for AirTrain JFK. Rockaway Boulevard is the northern split point where trains either continue on the Lefferts Boulevard branch or turn south toward the Rockaways. The line is used heavily by beachgoers in summer, JFK workers year-round, and commuters from Ozone Park and Howard Beach every weekday.

Neighborhoods on the A-Rockaway Line

Order Before Your A-Train Commute
Pre-order from the Terp Bros Ozone Park menu before you head home on the A train. Pickup orders are ready in 15 to 30 minutes, so you can time your arrival at 111th Street with your order completion and walk out without waiting behind the counter.
Pickup is the most efficient option for A-train commuters because the 111th Street platform is close to Cross Bay Blvd, and the store can have your selection packed before you walk through the door. The Ozone Park team keeps a wide range of flower, pre-rolls, edibles, 510 cartridges, and THC beverages in stock, and every product on the shelf has been lab-tested under NY OCM standards. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week from 10am to 10pm, and our budtenders can walk you through the menu without pressure. Every guest is ID-checked, and we only sell to shoppers age 21+ with valid government-issued ID.
Below are the most common questions shoppers ask about using the A train to shop at a licensed Queens dispensary. Each answer reflects current NY OCM policy, MTA rules, and Terp Bros NYC procedure as a CAURD-licensed retailer serving only adults age 21+ with valid government-issued ID.
Can I ride the subway with cannabis? Yes, if it's sealed and under 3 ounces (flower) or 24 grams (concentrate). Consumption on MTA property is not allowed under the Smoke-Free Air Act.

What First-Time Queens Shoppers Should Know About the A-Rockaway Route
First-time shoppers using the A-Rockaway line to reach Terp Bros should know that the 111th Street stop is the closest platform to our Ozone Park store. From there, the walk to 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd takes 3 to 8 minutes. The Ozone Park store is CAURD-licensed under OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) / OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park) and open only to adults age 21+ with valid government-issued ID.
New York law allows adults age 21+ to carry up to 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate in sealed original packaging. You can ride the A train with sealed product between Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, but you cannot consume on MTA property under the NYC Smoke-Free Air Act. You also cannot carry any cannabis product through TSA at JFK Airport even if you transfer from the A at Howard Beach-JFK to AirTrain, since federal law still prohibits cannabis in airport security screening. First-time shoppers should verify any dispensary is OCM-licensed before buying. Terp Bros Ozone Park is listed on the official NY OCM retail directory and logs every transaction through BioTrack for traceability.
How the A-Rockaway Route Compares Across Queens Neighborhoods
The A-train Rockaway line is the primary cannabis-shopping corridor for South Queens, Howard Beach, and the Rockaways. Compared with the J train on Jamaica Avenue or the E or F on Queens Boulevard, the A line anchors the only direct transit from the Rockaway peninsula to a CAURD-licensed dispensary at Terp Bros Ozone Park.
Compared with the LIRR Far Rockaway branch, the A is significantly cheaper and requires no transfer for riders between Rockaway Boulevard and the beaches. Compared with the Q52 and Q53 buses, the A is faster except when service is reduced on summer weekends. Compared with the 7 train or N/W in North Queens, the A-Rockaway route is the South Queens equivalent, anchoring beach and airport neighborhoods to our Ozone Park store the same way the N/W anchors Astoria to the flagship. Together the two corridors cover the full cannabis delivery footprint of the borough.
What Budtenders Hear Most About the A-Rockaway Route to Terp Bros
Budtenders at Terp Bros Ozone Park hear three recurring questions from A-train shoppers. Can I carry product on the subway, can I bring anything through JFK security, and what pairs well with a beach day on the Rockaways. Our team answers the same way every time, grounded in NY OCM rules and MTA and TSA policy.
On the subway, yes, sealed product in original tamper-evident packaging within the 3-ounce flower or 24-gram concentrate limit is legal for adults age 21+ with valid government-issued ID. On JFK security, absolutely not. Federal law overrides state law inside TSA checkpoints, so never carry cannabis through security even if you flew in from a legal state. Consume or dispose of product before you fly and restock at Terp Bros Ozone Park on your return trip. On beach-day pairings, shoppers gravitate toward low-dose gummies, THC-infused seltzers, 510 vape carts, and pre-rolls for the boardwalk. Consumption is restricted on Rockaway Beach under the NYC Smoke-Free Air Act, so plan accordingly.
How Do I Get From the A-Rockaway Line to Terp Bros?
From the A train, exit at 111th Street Station in Ozone Park. Walk south on 111th Street to Liberty Avenue, then east one block to Cross Bay Blvd. Terp Bros Ozone Park sits at 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd, roughly a 3 to 8 minute walk.

From Astoria, the N/W trains at Ditmars-Steinway drop you one block from the flagship. From Ozone Park, the A train at Rockaway Blvd and several Q bus lines connect to our Cross Bay shop. Drivers find easy parking on Ditmars side streets and along Cross Bay Blvd.
