"Sometimes, we pretend that our little park adventures in New York are like fantasy quests, and that we need to gather provisions before a fortnight of traveling the Kings Road (11th Ave.) to Castle Hudson (Riverside Park). What better-named place to start our next journey than Travelers Poets & Friends, a meat-free Italian market in the West Village, where you can currently get fresh pasta, produce, sandwiches, baked goods and other pantry staples. There's wine too, and a bar, as well as a dine-in restaurant that will be opening soon. " - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
