Saddened to hear that we’re closing indoor dining in NYC due to increasing COVID rates. If you have the means, please support your local restaurants by ordering takeout/delivery. The pandemic is causing many great restaurants to shut their doors forever.

I'm not big on birthdays, but it's impossible to escape the day without reflection. I think about how every step led me to Harlem where I live down the street from Red Rooster. 2020 has been a difficult year but I’m reminding myself that it's just one chapter of a bigger story.
