Another thing to add to the Red Rooster's roster these days appears to be free bicycle rentals. Chef Samuelsson published the above photo
via Twitter yesterday and confirms that the bikes had arrived for guests who want to ride around and check out Harlem. We assume that since the celebrity chef's restaurant is drawing crowds from all parts of the city, this will provide a means for some of them to get to see a little more of the neighborhood while uptown. Lending bikes out to guests is more common outside the states so it will be interesting to see if this amenity picks up with other establishments in the city.
Are they also providing helmets?
ReplyDeleteShould not he be focusing on getting his restaurant out of the "C" grade cleanliness status the Red Rooster was graded at?
ReplyDelete...more importantly really heavy locks. Bikes and iphones are going at the same rate these days.
ReplyDeleteNonetheless I love the idea of more bikes in New York City!
@Gwin:
ReplyDeleteMaybe Marcus will just give out jaunty straw hats along with the bikes. :)
great idea! Feels very European to me. And Harlem is a great neighborhood for a bike tour!
ReplyDeleteHe is a master of promotion, plus a great idea.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if more Harlem residents didn't park their cars in the bike lanes, particularly on St. Nicholas right around 125th Street.
ReplyDeletethis is a great idea.
