  • Chasing the Jersey Devil Hike with Ant $ (E-Town Concrete)

    Chasing the Jersey Devil Hike with Ant $ (E-Town Concrete)

    The Standard Biergarten, 848 Washington St, New York, NY, US

    REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events

    Join us for a one-of-a-kind OUTSIDERS experience as we head into the woods of Devil’s Half Acre in the Sourlands for a rugged, story-filled hike led by none other than Ant $ of E-Town Concrete.
    We’ll move through the rocky, forested trails of the Sourland Mountains, a place long tied to legends of the Jersey Devil, swapping stories, and connecting over the grit and beauty that defines both the landscape and the culture Anthony helped shape.
    Between stretches, Anthony will share stories from the road, reflections on resilience, and what the outdoors has meant in his own journey.
    Whether you grew up on NJ hardcore or you’re just here for the miles and the mythology, this one is about community, edge, and stepping into the wild together.
    Bring sturdy hiking shoes (you’ll need them), water, and snacks. Dress for the terrain and the weather.

We'll be making at least 4 taco stops all curated by our good friend and TIKTOK foodie @itsyaboymikeofficial.

We’ll provide a route preview and safety briefing before the tour starts, roll at a conversational pace, and take frequent stops to rest, hydrate, and eat tacos.
    Bring your energy, good vibes, and lots of water.

    Hike & Shrooms ;)

    The Standard Biergarten, 848 Washington St, New York, NY, US

    REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events

    Before anyone gets any ideas - yes, we meant the legal, educational, woodsy mushrooms.
    We’re heading out on a guided foraging hike to learn how to identify wild mushrooms and other edible plants safely and responsibly. An expert guide will teach us what to look for, what to absolutely avoid, and how to harvest ethically while we explore beautiful trails just outside the city.
    No experience needed - just curiosity and a sense of humor. You’ll leave knowing the difference between “gourmet mushroom” and “absolutely not”, and will never look at the forest floor the same way again.
