☞ MEET: Marcus Samuelsson at Marcus Garvey

Monday, June 25th, 3:00PM-7:00PM, Harlem Community Day with Marcus Samuelsson at Marcus Garvey Park's Richard Rodgers Amphitheater (123rd Street and Mount Morris Park West). The chef/owner of Red Rooster Harlem and Ginny’s Supper Club and 8-year Harlem resident, will host a Harlem Community Day on Monday, June 25th, in support of his forthcoming memoir, Yes, Chef. In association with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, the neighborhood-focused day will be held at the Richard Rodgers Amphitheater and is free to attend.

Yes, Chef, which will be published on June 26th, describes Marcus' love for Harlem and his gratitude towards this supportive community. In recognition of this, Marcus has chosen to launch Yes, Chef at Marcus Garvey Park a day before the book’s national release. He will introduce the book with a fun-filled roster of activities and offerings that celebrate the residents, organizations and businesses of the neighborhood. Events will include cooking demonstrations, dance and musical performances, a greenmarket showcase, a yoga class, food and beverages, and a special Q & A with Marcus about Yes, Chef.
