Central Park (Teens/Adults)
"Wildman" Steve Brill @ 5th Ave & E 106th St, New York, NY 10029
Central Park provides a great window into the world of wild foods of mid-spring. It's the peak of the season for wild salad greens, and we'll be finding great quantities of renewable ingredients: Spicy mustard greens, such as garlicky garlic mustard, hot hedge mustard, and even hotter poor man's pepper, will abound on lawns or under trees anywhere, and lemony sheep sorrel thrives in sunny places. Offset their flavors in a salad with milder-tasting...

Prospect Park (Kids 12 & Under)
"Wildman" Steve Brill @ Prospect Park - Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY 11238
Prospect Park provides such a superabundance of wild foods in mid-spring, it's hard to cover them all in just four hours. We begin with spicy hedge mustard, corn-flavored chickweed, and spinach-flavored lamb's quarters, all growing near the park's Grand Army Plaza entrance. Then we move along to goutweed, taking over along the path near the Vale of Cashmere (and throughout other sections of the park). This invasive European herb tastes like parsley,...

Forest Park (Teens/Adults)
"Wildman" Steve Brill @ Union Turnpike & Park Ln, New York, NY 11415
This is one of the best places in the world for fall foraging, with a wide selection of wild herbs, greens, roots, nuts, and mushrooms, even in late fall. Habitats include miles of mature forest, as well as the trail edges and the disturbed, overgrown, and cultivated habitats, all providing homes for many diverse, renewable species. Before we even enter the park, we'll stop at a row of ginkgo trees across the street from the meeting spot. A relic...

Central Park (Kids 12 & Under)
"Wildman" Steve Brill @ 5th Ave & E 106th St, New York, NY 10029
Central Park provides a great window into the world of wild foods in early spring. Making a meal with these plants is simple at this time of the year. For an appetizer, try simmering field garlic bulbs in diluted vinegar with Italian seasonings, to make an outstanding pickle. It's the peak of the season for wild salad greens, and we'll be finding large quantities of leafy, green ingredients. Spicy mustard greens, such as garlicky garlic mustard,...

Forest Park (Kids 12 & Under)
"Wildman" Steve Brill @ 8040 Park Lane, Queens, NY 11415
Forest Park is one of the best places for foragers in mid-spring. Get lost in this vast park, and you'll have plenty to eat (that is, if you can distinguish the gourmet plants from the deadly ones.) It boasts a large, mature, secondary growth forest, trail edges, thickets, and cultivated areas—all overflowing with wild plants, and Violet Brill, America's go-to gal for foraging, will teach you how to identify, harvest ecologically, and use dozens...
