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.
"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."
