"Perfect Order: Chicken and waffle, shrimp and grits, jerk cauliflower, mac and greens, crab cake, cornbread (if only for the roasted tomato and corn butter it comes with). There’s nothing like some entertainment to keep group morale high when conversation inevitably lags. Red Rooster is just the place for that: This Harlem institution regularly hosts great live jazz, soul, funk, and R&B music. Prioritize the sleeper-hit shrimp and grits over a fried chicken tower—just sample that chicken over a waffle instead. As far as drinks go, it’s worth noting that both the Roo Roo’s Red Sangria and Garvey’s Punch can be ordered by the pitcher." - molly fitzpatrick, hannah albertine, willa moore, will hartman
