Fashion Reverie Is Wild About “Wild”

While the Oscars might be gaga Reese Witherspoon’s nominated pic “Wild,” some New Yorkers have one up on the Academy of Motion Pictures by being wild for the West Village gluten-free bistro “Wild.” The food is synonymous with the bistro’s moniker; the delicious food at “Wild” is something to go wild over.

If this somewhat hidden bistro was not on your radar during New York Fashion Week (NYFW) as you scurried from one fashion venue downtown to the next, then it should have been. (If you didn’t hibernate at “The Tents” at Lincoln Center during this blistery Fashion Week, then you were probably hustling between the Standard Hotel, Milk Studios, Pier 59 or Skylight Modern; all downtown fashion venues.) And if you were counting calories the way most industry professionals were during NYFW, then Wild’s gluten-free, quality meals made with the simplest ingredients fits the bill.

But gluten-free, healthy meals lose their savor if taste is lacking. When Fashion Reverie dined at “Wild” the food was not only tasty, but the portions were filling and you could really taste the freshness of produce that is well seasoned.

The BBQ Vegan Delight Pizza consisting of BBQ chicken (optional), marinara sauce, red onion and vegan cheese was enough for two people and more than enough to satisfy hungry diners. This is a great option for a quick lunchtime treat and the gluten-free vegan crust is ideal for those looking to avoid foods with gluten.

Now if comfort food is your oeuvre then “Wild’s” gluten-free Chicken Parmigiano is a great choice. Prepared with fresh tomato and basil sauce and served with penne pasta, this entrée option is great for frigid nights and not too heavy for those looking for something filling but leaves room for a great dessert. And the dessert extraordinaire is the cheesecake pop sickle rolled in chocolate and granola.
