Prickly lettuce. What this picture doesn't quite convey is how very tall these guys are - at least four feet, maybe five. The flowers look a bit like dandelion, but lots of them branch off of each long stalk.
This plant has a couple similar-looking relatives, but we think it is probably prickly lettuce because of the very spiky serrated edges of the leaves.
Growing near the northwest exit from the Ramble, via the bridge over the upper lobe of the Lake, Central Park.
