ART IMITATES LIFE: Huntington Restaurant
Week inspired more than appetites. It inspired an exhibit
at the Heckscher Museum of Art. “Night on the Town”
features works from the museum’s collection of nightlife
scenes including dining, dancing, music, theater and entertainment.
An evening out, whether in Huntington, Manhattan or rural
Pennsylvania, consists of myriad social interactions. Cafés,
sidewalks and the streetscape become places to see and be
seen, as revealed in artworks by Arthur Dove, Larry Fink,
George Luks, Man Ray, Larry Rivers and John Sloan, among others.
The exhibit is up through Jan. 2, 2011.
WILD MUSHROOM HUNT: On Sunday, naturalist/author
“Wildman” Steve Brill will lead one of his world-famous
foraging tours of Sunken Meadow Park in Kings Park. Brill
says the seashore is a special place for edible wild plants,
including delicious autumn olives, edible seaweeds and sea
rocket, a succulent mustard green that grows only in the sand
and tastes like its Japanese relative, wasabe. Other great
wild foods include black walnuts, Asian chestnuts, fox grapes,
common spicebush and sassafras, , and if there has been sufficient
rain, lots of gourmet mushrooms in the woods. The three-hour
walking tour begins at 12:30 p.m. on Oct. 24; $20/adult, $15/child.
