What Is the E Train in Queens?
The E train is the MTA's IND Queens Boulevard line. It runs 24 hours a day between the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan and Jamaica Center in eastern Queens, covering Long Island City, Sunnyside, Elmhurst, Forest Hills, and Jamaica along the way. It is one of three trains (E, F, M) that share the Queens Boulevard express tracks.
The E train is the fastest subway route between Midtown Manhattan and Jamaica, and it serves some of the densest commercial corridors in Queens. Major transfer points include Court Square (7/G/M), Queens Plaza (M/R), Roosevelt Avenue-Jackson Heights (7/F/M/R), Forest Hills-71st Avenue (F/M/R), Jamaica-Van Wyck, Sutphin Boulevard-Archer Avenue (J/Z/LIRR/AirTrain), and Jamaica Center (J/Z). The line is a lifeline for commuters, airport workers, and cannabis shoppers who want a direct route from Midtown into Queens and a single transfer to reach our Astoria store.

Getting to Terp Bros From the E Train
From Court Square, exit and walk to Queensboro Plaza, then transfer to an Astoria-bound N or W. From Queens Plaza, walk upstairs to the Queensboro Plaza platform and catch the N/W. Either route takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes from Queens Plaza to Ditmars Boulevard, plus a 1 to 3 minute walk to 36-10 Ditmars Blvd.
The Court Square transfer requires a brief walk between two stations, and the walk can be especially useful for shoppers who want to swing by MoMA PS1 or the LIC waterfront on the way. The Queens Plaza transfer is easier because the walk to Queensboro Plaza is shorter and the track connects directly on the elevated N/W platform. Either way, the total travel time from Midtown Manhattan to Terp Bros Astoria is roughly 25 to 35 minutes. Drivers coming from the Queens-Midtown Tunnel or Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge can reach the store via 21st Street or 31st Street, and street parking is typically available along Ditmars Boulevard and adjacent side streets.
Neighborhoods on the E Line
The E train serves North and eastern Queens neighborhoods that Terp Bros delivers to from the Astoria store. Orders placed through our online menu can be scheduled for same-day delivery to Long Island City, Forest Hills, or Jamaica, subject to delivery windows and ID verification at the door.
Order Before Your E-Train Commute
Pre-order from the Terp Bros Astoria menu before you board the E train. Pickup orders are ready in 15 to 30 minutes, so you can time your transfer to the N/W at Queensboro Plaza with your order completion and walk directly into the store at Ditmars Boulevard.
Pre-ordering is especially useful for E-train shoppers because the line requires a transfer to reach Astoria. Pre-packing your order saves counter time once you arrive and lets our budtenders focus on answering questions or walking you through product choices. The Astoria team carries a full range of flower, pre-rolls, low-dose edibles, THC beverages, and 510 cartridges, plus Carmelo Anthony's Stay Melo brand. Every product on our shelf is lab-tested under NY OCM standards. Walk-ins are welcome during regular hours, and every guest is ID-checked. We only sell to 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 E-Train Route
First-time shoppers using the E train to reach Terp Bros should know that the line does not run directly to our Astoria store. The closest route requires one transfer at Court Square or Queens Plaza to the N or W, then a three-stop ride to Ditmars Boulevard. The Astoria store is CAURD-licensed under OCM-CAURD-23-000020 (Astoria) / OCM-CAURD-25-000294 (Ozone Park) and open 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. The NYC Smoke-Free Air Act prohibits consumption on MTA property. You also cannot carry cannabis through TSA security at JFK, even if you reached the airport via the E train to Sutphin Boulevard and AirTrain JFK. First-time shoppers should verify any dispensary is OCM-licensed before buying. Terp Bros Astoria is listed on the official NY OCM retail directory, and every product is lab-tested under NY OCM standards and logged through BioTrack.
How the E-Train Route Compares Across Queens Neighborhoods
The E train is the fastest east-west subway line in Queens and the backbone of the Queens Boulevard corridor. Compared with the 7 train on the Flushing Line, the E is preferred by shoppers coming from Midtown Manhattan because it runs express and skips many stops. Either line requires a transfer at Queensboro Plaza to reach the Terp Bros Astoria store.
Compared with the N or W Astoria line, the E is the long-distance counterpart. The N/W is a direct route to Ditmars Boulevard. The E is a commuter route that reaches the same area with one transfer. Compared with the A train to Ozone Park, the E is the North Queens equivalent, anchoring North Queens and western Jamaica to the Astoria store the same way the A anchors South Queens to our Ozone Park location. Shoppers in the Jamaica area should consider whether the E-to-N/W transfer or a direct trip to our Ozone Park store on Cross Bay Blvd makes more sense depending on their zip code.
What Budtenders Hear Most About the E-Train Route to Terp Bros
Budtenders at Terp Bros Astoria hear two questions most often from E-train shoppers. Where should I transfer to reach Ditmars Boulevard, and can I bring sealed cannabis through Sutphin Boulevard if I am heading to JFK. Our team answers the same way every time, rooted in practical transit experience and NY OCM rules.
On transfers, Queens Plaza is the easiest option because the walk to Queensboro Plaza is short and the N/W platforms are connected. Court Square is slightly more involved but gives you the 7 train option if you want to head toward Long Island City first. On JFK, yes, you can ride the E train with sealed cannabis in original packaging within the 3-ounce flower or 24-gram concentrate limit, but you cannot carry cannabis through TSA security even with a valid New York purchase. Consume or dispose of product before you board AirTrain JFK and restock at Terp Bros on your return trip. Every product we sell is lab-tested under NY OCM standards and sold only to adults age 21+ with valid government-issued ID.
How Do I Get From the E Train to Terp Bros?
From the E train, transfer at Court Square or Queens Plaza to the N or W, ride to the Ditmars Boulevard terminal, and walk one block south to 36-10 Ditmars Blvd. Total travel time is roughly 25 to 35 minutes from most Queens stops.
Queens transit makes cannabis shopping straightforward. Most landmarks and transit nodes sit within a short ride of either Terp Bros location. 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.
Which Queens Neighborhoods Does Terp Bros Serve?
Terp Bros NYC serves the full borough through two CAURD-licensed shops. The Astoria flagship anchors North Queens and delivers to every E-line neighborhood we cover, while our Ozone Park store anchors South Queens and serves shoppers whose zip code is closer to Cross Bay Blvd.
Our two shops cover North Queens and South Queens. Astoria serves LIC, Ditmars, Steinway, Hallets Point, Long Island City-adjacent blocks, and anyone connecting from Manhattan or the Upper East Side. Ozone Park serves Howard Beach, Cross Bay, JFK-area workers, South Ozone Park, Richmond Hill, and Jamaica-adjacent commuters. Together the shops pull in shoppers from every zip code in the borough.
Why Do Queens Shoppers Choose Terp Bros?
Queens shoppers choose Terp Bros because we are locally owned, CAURD-licensed, and staffed by neighbors. Founders Al Cottone and Jeremy Rivera grew up in the borough, and every product on our shelf is lab-tested under NY OCM standards and sold only to shoppers age 21+ with valid government-issued ID.
