"Beyond its traditional theater offerings, the company is also venturing into the culinary world with an intimate new restaurant inside the 167-seat venue. Aptly named Wild Cherry, the restaurant and bar is helmed by chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr, and described in a press release as an "intimate supper club" inviting theatergoers for a pre- or post-show meal-or anyone else simply looking for a classic New York night out at a restaurant. The dining room fits 45 people and the space is anchored by a 12-seat horseshoe-shaped bar that really gives the place character."
"The menu leans heavily on raw options, starting with a selection of oysters, tuna crudo cured with piquillo lemon, scallops, seafood cocktails and mussels. Appetizers range from steak tartare and frog legs to a Caesar salad and chicken liver mousse, while mains run the gamut from a classic cheeseburger to red beans and rice, a monkfish kebab and a lobster club. Diners can also opt for a Denver-cut steak dinner for two, served with a baked potato and salad."
Cherry Lane Theatre reopened in September at 38 Commerce Street in the West Village after a two-year renovation led by new owner A24. A24 will program one-night events, film screenings and unique theater offerings while introducing a small restaurant and bar inside the 167-seat venue. Wild Cherry, led by chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr, seats 45 and centers on a 12-seat horseshoe bar. The menu emphasizes raw seafood, with oysters, crudo and scallops, plus diverse appetizers and mains from cheeseburgers to monkfish kebab and a Denver-cut steak for two. Desserts are minimal but focused, and cocktails pair classic forms with creative twists.
