Frequently asked questions
Red Rooster or Sylvia's for a Harlem meal?
Sylvia's for the historic soul food institution, Red Rooster for the modern remix with music and art. Doing both on different days is the real answer.
What should I order at Red Rooster?
The fried yardbird with hot honey and the cornbread with honey butter. The mac and greens holds its own too.
How does Red Rooster fit with a night at the Apollo?
It sits on the same Harlem walk. Eat before an Apollo show or take the later Ginny's set downstairs afterward, which keeps the whole evening in one neighborhood.
