L’asso EV has introduced the Big Muff, a pizza inspired by New Orleans’ muffaletta sandwich. Soppressata, caciocavallo cheese, mortadella, and capicola covered by mozzarella and a layer of pickled olives, carrots, celery, red onions, cauliflower florets, and peppers make for a two-inch deep-dish pie that fits in with L’asso’s other quirky, neighborhood-inspired pizzas the Polish and Smoked Salmon.

• Have you ever fantasized about living off the land? Apparently, you almost can in Prospect Park. On October 7, take a walk through the park with edible-plant-expert Leda Meredith and learn how to spot burdock root, chickweed, sorrel, and even hen-of-the-woods, oyster, and porcini mushrooms. Afterward, you’ll head to the Farm on Adderly for a meal inspired by the day’s foraging. The walking tour and dinner are $80 per person. To sign up, e-mail thefarmonadderly@gmail.com. [Grub Street]

Gilt City is offering the perfect New York marathon weekend for fans of restaurateur Joe Bastianich. For $2,500, you’ll get entry for one in the New York marathon on team Grana Padano with Bastianich, a pasta-tasting dinner for the member and three guests at Babbo the night before the race, post-marathon beers and snacks with Bastianich and three friends at Becco Restaurant, and an invitation to the charity event High Line Sessions at Del Posto. If running isn’t your thing, consider convincing a friend to spring for the deal and, of course, invite you along for the less strenuous parts. [Grub Street]
