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...

Sunday Oct 8th, 11:45am–3:45pm Eastern Time

Forest Park (Teens/Adults)

"Wildman" Steve Brill @ 8040 Park Lane, Queens, 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...

Saturday Oct 14th, 11:45am–3:45pm Eastern Time

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,...

Saturday Oct 7th, 1:30–4:30pm Eastern Time

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,...

Sunday Oct 8th, 11:45am–3:45pm Eastern Time

Alley Pond Park (Teens/Adults)

"Wildman" Steve Brill @ Alley Pond Park, Queens, NY 11361

This large wetland park offers vast foraging opportunities, even as winter approaches. We begin with a small, young woodland. It contains large quantities of field garlic, with leaves like chives and bulbs like onions or garlic. There's also garlic mustard, a garlic-flavored mustard green with a taproot that tastes like horseradish. Nearby grows sassafras, with a root you can use for tea, as a sweet seasoning, or for making root beer. Then we circumnavigate...
