Weekly Featured Products
Jaunty Live Rosin Carts
Jaunty has been killing the game with their high-potency carts for a while now but recently, they decided to step their game up by introducing a line of live rosin carts. When it comes to purity, rosin is king. When it comes to carts, it’s no different. Jaunty understood the assignment with these and the result is a clean cart that hits smooth, puts out clouds, and has unrivaled flavor. They are a must try for any solventless concentrate fan on the go!
Puff Hash Infused Prerolls
Puff has become synonymous with prerolls in the New York cannabis market and for good reason. From their flower-only line to their diamond infused line, they shine in quality and consistency. However, where they truly stand out from the rest is with their line of bubble hash infused prerolls. Available in singles as well as five packs, these things hit like Tyson in ’93 but with a smooth inhale and a high that just doesn’t quit.
Gron Hybrid Mini Bars (Dark and Milk Chocolate, 100mg)
Gron is a company focused on edibles that use rosin as their primary concentrate for infusion. This leads to a final product that is more bioavailable, meaning it hits faster, and lasts longer than the average edible. Their gummies are great, but what we absolutely love is their line of mini chocolate bars! They’ve been available in Sativa (including CBG) and Indica (including CBN) varieties for a while now, but they finally dropped the hybrid minis in dark and milk chocolate options, and we can’t get enough of them!
Local Munchies Highlight: King of Falafel and Shawarma
There are many food options in Astoria. It can sometimes even be a bit difficult to pick a place to try out. We get it, and as a group of professional munchy managers, we have the next spot for your list! King of Falafel and Shawarma is an Astoria institution serving up classic Middle Eastern food to the community for years. They have a brick-and-mortar store on Broadway as well as a food truck that offers their full menu permanently stationed right outside the Krispy Kreme on the corner of Ditmars Blvd and 31st St. They have classics like chicken or beef shawarma served up fresh and hot over rice with salad and delicious sauces, but the star of the show here is their falafel. It’s the perfect size, consistency, and flavor and they’re always served hot with one of their amazing sauces. They also sell the mix so you can make them yourself at home. Plus, an order of 4 only costing three bucks and being enough food for a full meal is a deal that’s hard to beat these days. The kicker? In case you’re on the fence about whether you’re going to order the falafel, the chef always hands you a free one while you wait in line so you can sample the goods before you buy!
What To Do in Queens This Week
Joke Tank: Free Comedy (Feedback) Open Mic – Tuesday Apr. 1 (Sign-up 5:45pm)
Have you ever watched a stand-up comedy special and thought to yourself, “I could do that.”? You can! Comedy is a fun way to work out anxiety and who knows? Maybe you’ll be good and find a new career. At the very least, you’ll be happy you tried. Here in Astoria, we have a lot of places that offer comedy shows and open mics, but QED is doing something a bit different with their show Joke Tank. Set up like a traditional open mic comedy show, amateur comedians take the stage to perform. However, at Joke Tank, for those trying to improve their comedy writing or stage presence, you can choose to receive (optional) feedback from fellow performers. This can be helpful in many ways, and often leads to more confidence when writing or performing comedy. If you’ve ever been interested, here’s your chance!
Flushing Food Crawl
If you’re willing to travel a few miles from Astoria, there is a traditional Chinese food wonderland that puts Manhattan’s Chinatown to shame. Ok, maybe we won’t go that far. We still want our Sichuan dumplings at Super Taste and roast pork over rice from Wah Fung No. 1. Still though, Flushing’s Chinatown is on another level. From the food carts serving traditional Chinese street staples to their sprawling indoor food markets boasting hundreds of stalls with foods from all over, it simply can’t be matched. It really is like a culinary trip to central Asia and we’re lucky enough to be right next door! It can be a bit overwhelming when trying to find a place to start so we recommend New World Mall. You can find anything your heart desires from Korean corndogs to classic Chinese rice rolls to boba tea that will make you question why you ever settled for less. Flushing is a foodie’s dream and has something for everyone!
Live Music Thursdays at The Bonnie
We’ve been there before. High, sun is setting on a nice spring day, looking for something to do that involves three specific things. Food, entertainment, and sitting down. Lucky for you, we have the perfect spot to check out! The Bonnie is an Astoria staple serving up burgers and other classic American fare as well as hand-crafted cocktails and taste bud tingling desserts. This all obviously sounds great, especially to those who may have just smoked, but what about the entertainment option? After all, you’re stoned and while delicious food is great, you probably don’t want to just sit and eat a burger while watching silent golf on a tv that’s too small from too far away. Not to worry! At the Bonnie, at least on Thursday nights, you can sit back and relax while listening to local artists and bands playing their tunes for your listening pleasure. Burgers, cocktails, dessert, AND live music? If this place doesn’t check all the boxes, we don’t know what will. Also, the staff is crazy nice, and the vibe is very chill! We highly recommend.
There you have it, Terp Bros fam! Another week down and more local eats, smokes, and events for you to enjoy! If you like what you read here, make sure to follow us on Instagram and let us know what kinds of events and products you’d like to see featured in the future!
