From the restaurant's website:
"Red Rooster Harlem is thrilled to join Harlem's vibrant community alongside local legends like The Apollo Theater, Sylvia's and Lenox Lounge. We named our restaurant after the legendary Harlem speakeasy that was located at 138th Street and 7th Avenue, where neighborhood folk, jazz greats, authors, politicians and some of the most noteworthy figures of the 20th Century - such as Adam Clayton Powell Jr., Nat King Cole and James Baldwin - would converge to enjoy drinks and music in an inviting atmosphere. ... Our menu reflects the roots of Harlem's diverse population as well as Chef Marcus Samuelsson's own rich background, while celebrating local farmers and artisanal purveyors."

"Superstar chef Marcus Samuelsson is at his most populist here, drawing on a 'We Are the World' mix of Southern-fried, East African, Scandinavian and French flavors to feed the buzzy crowd. "
