red rooster

finally, red rooster harlem is off my nyc bucket list -- a perfect morning to join visitors from all over the world - holland, turkey, iran, texas, new jersey - for the famed food, music, art, photography and genuinely warm community spirit...

p.s. just a quick ride on the 2 train to 125th street and lenox ave and you, too, might catch boncellia lewis's soulful rendition of the spiritual "wade in the water" and the impressive guitar and vocals of 19 year old musician solomon hicks!
