Best Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe, or Place to Do It Outside, 1995

Mayfield Park & Preserve

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep. Let's get lost. When we want to get lost, we go to Mayfield Park on a weekday afternoon. A blanket; a couple of cool, refreshing beverages; and a companion are all the supplies you need to enjoy the peacocks, ponds, and sun-dappled hiking trails. And if you wish to stray off the trails and explore those woods so lovely, dark, and deep, there will be no witnesses.
