The Red Rooster  is a restaurant/bar located in Harlem.  It’s owned by award-winning Chef Marcus Samuelsson, an Ethiopian-born chef who learned to cook from his adoptive Swedish grandmother.   The restaurant is named after a legendary speakeasy in Harlem.  It serves traditional American, Scandinavian, seafood and southern/soul food.  I haven’t eaten there yet.  Maybe one of these days, I’ll have a chance to go inside.

Happy New York Monday!

Holiday lights are still up across 125th street.

 

They stretch across town, from the East side to the West.

 

However, the man-made lights don’t outshine the moon.

 

It shines over 125th Street.

 

Looking through the wintry tree limbs, you can’t miss the moon.

Happy New York Monday, everyone!

Have a great week.

I took this photo when I was standing on the above-ground subway platform, waiting for the uptown #1 train.  This image is just a small portion of 125th street, which goes from the east side to the west (and vice versa).  It looks very quiet and almost abandoned, but this is a very deceptive photo.  It’s normally very busy on this crosstown street.  There  is a lot of pedestrian and automobile traffic.  

This street is sometimes referred to as the Capital of Black America, the Gateway of Black America and the Main Street of Harlem.   I’ve post a few photos of 125th, which you can find here, here, here and here.

Happy New York Monday, everyone!  Have a great new week!

Cars seem to pass by…

 

in a flash of the eye.

 

There’s nothing like a little light to make a place look special.

 

It makes the atmosphere around this couple, trying to hail a cab, romantic.

 

Happy New York Monday!

Happy New Year, everyone!

I wish you all the best this 2012!

Paz
