What Is the Astoria N/W Train?
The N and W trains are the MTA subway routes that serve Astoria and Long Island City via an elevated line along 31st Street. Together they link Ditmars Boulevard in northern Astoria to Manhattan, running through Queens Plaza, over the Manhattan Bridge or through the 60th Street Tunnel, and into Midtown and Lower Manhattan.
The N is a full-time line that runs 24 hours a day between Astoria and Brooklyn. The W runs weekdays between Astoria and Lower Manhattan, covering local service when the N runs express. Together they give Astoria direct access to Times Square, Herald Square, Union Square, and Canal Street without a transfer. The Astoria N/W line is the neighborhood's lifeline. It runs directly above 31st Street, serves every major commercial corridor in Astoria, and is the primary route for shoppers, commuters, and visitors who want to reach the Ditmars area where Terp Bros is headquartered.

What First-Time Queens Shoppers Should Know About the Astoria N/W Route
First-time shoppers using the Astoria N/W train to reach Terp Bros should know that the Ditmars Boulevard terminal is the closest platform to our flagship at 36-10 Ditmars Blvd. The walk is typically 1 to 3 minutes. The Astoria 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 N or W with sealed product, but the NYC Smoke-Free Air Act prohibits smoking on MTA property including platforms, stations, and trains.

Every product is lab-tested under NY OCM standards and sold only through our licensed point-of-sale system. Skip any unlicensed shops on 30th Avenue or Steinway Street. Terp Bros is the Astoria line's legal anchor.
How the Astoria N/W Route Compares Across Queens Neighborhoods
The Astoria N/W route is the single most direct cannabis-shopping corridor in Queens. The line terminates one block from Terp Bros Astoria, which means there are no transfers and no long walks from station to store. Compared with every other Queens transit route, the N/W is the fastest way to a licensed dispensary.
Compared with the 7 train on the Flushing Line, the N/W route wins for anyone whose destination is the Astoria store because the 7 requires a transfer at Queensboro Plaza. Compared with the E or F through Queens Boulevard, the N/W is the more direct route from Midtown Manhattan to Astoria. Compared with the A train to Ozone Park, the N/W is the North Queens equivalent, anchoring the Astoria delivery footprint the same way the A anchors our Ozone Park store. Together the two subway corridors cover the full cannabis-delivery footprint of Queens.
What Budtenders Hear Most About the Astoria N/W Route to Terp Bros
Budtenders at Terp Bros Astoria hear two questions most often from N/W train shoppers. Where is the closest entrance to the store from the Ditmars platform, and which products make sense for a short subway ride home. Our team answers the same way every time, grounded in neighborhood experience and NY OCM rules.
On the entrance, the Ditmars Boulevard terminal has two station exits, and the southeast exit drops you closest to 36-10 Ditmars Blvd. Walk south half a block and look for the storefront on the west side. On product selection, the Astoria team recommends pre-rolls and single gummies for shoppers who live one or two stops away and want something small. Shoppers heading home to Long Island City or Hallets Point often grab an eighth of flower or a 510 vape cart for longer-term use. Carmelo Anthony's Stay Melo line is a frequent recommendation because it is New York-rooted and recognized by visiting fans. Every product is lab-tested under NY OCM standards and sold only to adults age 21+ with valid government-issued ID.
