"It's a match made in hella-cool heaven. The duo behind Tribeca's Frenchette and Upper West Side revival Le Veau d'Or, chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson, teamed up with indie film studio A24 ( Moonlight, Past Lives) to create the buzziest downtown restaurant this fall. Attached to the reopened West Village Cherry Lane Theatre, every seat at Wild Cherry is a good one, even the tiny horseshoe bar,"
"The seafood cocktail ($32): My server recommended this tangy mix of squid, mussels, shrimp, scallops, and big avocado chunks, served alongside long crackers. The cheeseburger ($28) is damn good. The hefty medium-rare beef patty is draped with melted cheese and strewn with onions for sweetness. Kielbasa ($34), which is made in-house, is one of the best in the city, served with requisite sauerkraut. Dessert custards ($16) are standouts, particularly the rich chocolate with a Chartreuse drizzle."
Wild Cherry opened in the West Village as a collaboration between chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson and indie studio A24. The restaurant sits attached to the reopened Cherry Lane Theatre, and every seat, including a small horseshoe bar, offers good sightlines and frequent celebrity sightings. The menu ranges from frogs legs Kiev to burgers, with notable items including a seafood cocktail ($32), a cheeseburger ($28) cooked medium-rare, in-house kielbasa ($34) with sauerkraut, and rich dessert custards ($16) with a chocolate and Chartreuse option. The dining room is hip and boisterous with dark woods, marquee archways, and green plush booths. Reservations are hard to snag; servers can time meals for theatergoers and entrees may be ordered to go.
