I visited Upper Manhattan this Saturday morning to meet up with a few friends for brunch at the Red Rooster. I purposely arrived an hour early so that I could power walk the streets of Harlem to admire its beauty while feeling its unique vibe.
As I roamed around this historic neighborhood like a tourist for 45 minutes, I eventually arrived at the corner of Frederick Douglas Blvd and 125th St. I determined that this was an excellent time to catch my breath.
After watching a candy apple red fire truck drive by and obstructing my view, the second that I could see down the block, there it was, the iconic Apollo Theater!
Although it is closed to the public, I walked over to the main entrance of this historic landmark to take a picture. I then took a moment to reminisce on the times that I would watch "Showtime at the Apollo" and laugh hysterically! It never mattered to me if a contestant won or got booed off the stage because I was more impressed by them having the guts to chase their dream!
Soon it was time to hustle over to the restaurant, and I arrived just in the nick of time for our reservation. When it was time to order, without hesitation, I went with the chicken and waffles. Let's eat!
Where did you have brunch today?
Enjoy your weekend! 😊
