About
Harlem's Red Rooster is Marcus Samuelsson's flagship restaurant, named after a legendary speakeasy where jazz greats and politicians once mingled. This BIPOC-owned spot serves comfort food rooted in African American traditions, from soul food to seafood and cajun-creole. It's upscale but lively, with a mixed LGBTQ+ crowd and outdoor seating. Reservations are accepted, and there's a full bar.
Go for weekend brunch or a late dinner on Friday or Saturday. Locals know the rooftop bar draws a stylish crowd, and the restaurant often hosts live music and art events. If you're exploring Harlem, you'll find this is a community hub, not just a tourist stop. Nearby, Katz's Delicatessen offers a different slice of New York food history.
