Harlem—so hot right now! So hot that you will soon have the privilege of rolling up your pantleg to discover all of the neighborhood's hidden treasures via a good old-fashioned velocipede; after, that is, you've plunked down $34 for a steak at celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson's restaurant Red Rooster Harlem.

"Our bikes are in! Soon, you'll be able to borrow a bike from @RoosterHarlem for free to ride and see the neighborhood!" tweeted the chef earlier this week. A call to the restaurant yielded little in the way of details—a staffer told us she didn't know when the bikes would be available, or how many they'll have. "We don't know how it's going to work at all, all we know is that he's gonna do it," she said.

Nevertheless: Harlem, the time is now to start preparing against the coming two-wheeled hipster gastrotourists. You've been warned.
