Manhattan typically conjures up images of skyscrapers, but there are a lot of green and pleasant places tucked away between the blocks, on the city’s rooftops and along its coastline. These parks, gardens and farms are feeding New York’s new urban obsession for wild food foraging.
nyma, the New York Manhattan Hotel, is offering an exclusive foraging tour promotion on stays this June. Situated in Midtown Manhattan, between the Gramercy Park and Central Park, nyma, has paired up with one of the city’s best known foragers ‘Wild Man’ Steve Brill to offer an exclusive package. Steve has been collecting food from parks since 1982, and now makes a healthy living from his weekly tours, in which he promises to produce a meal out of the berries, bark, mushrooms and herbs that he discovers.
Centrally situated on West 32nd street, nyma, provides guests with a host of free amenities, including free continental breakfast, free wi-fi and national phone calls, a free fitness suite open 24 hours a day and free stays for children aged 12 and under.
Enjoy a foraging tour with stays this June, from US$274.99 per room per night (which equates to about £91 per person). The rate is based on two sharing and includes one night’s stay and a foraging tour per couple, worth $40. To book, call freephone 0808 178 6363 or visit www.thenewyorkmanhattanhotel.co.uk and quote the code FORAGE.
