This jaunt to Jersey caters to everyone's favorite seed-studded fruit, the ambrosial strawberry. Before the treat comes the trek though: a light, pepping three-miler through the arboreal splendor of the Watchung Reservation (for the etymologists, the Lenni-Lenape Indians called the area Wach Unks, or "high hills"). The rest of the afternoon is then spent picking (a reap-and-pay policy) and unwinding at a local farm — a welcome change of scenery from the dulcet clicks at Central Park's Strawberry Fields.
