Eater.com just updated their Heat Map today, which basically asks: where should I eat right now? The answer: Red Rooster in Harlem. It is listed as the number #1 spot where hipster foodies are flocking to at the moment. Red Rooster Harlem has been on the Heat Map for sometime, however I don’t recall it being in the top spot. If you look at the entire list, it’s the only uptown establishment listed. Nice!

Ladell McLin 9 p.m., no cover charge
Ladell has been described as a true artist that possesses the ability to transcend the bounds of conventional music through his muse, the blues. Born on the South Side of Chicago, Ladell discovered the music that would have a lasting influence on his life. Deeply touched by the genre, Ladell worked hard to hone his seemingly natural talents on the guitar. His efforts eventually earned him a place in the house band at Buddy Guy’s Legends, arguably the world’s top spot for blues. McLin learned onstage from the best in the business: Koko Taylor, John Primer, and Buddy Guy himself. Mr. McLin will play 2 stellar sets this evening.
