Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, the New England Patriots wide receiver, is feeling mighty generous—or mighty lonely—because he just Tweeted, "Dinner in NY tonight -- 1st 200 people at Sylvia's Restaurant by 7 pm in Harlem. Leave ya money/credit cards at home. I got you this time."

Sylvia's, is of course, Sylvia's Restaurant, the legendary Harlem restaurant opened by Sylvia Woods and now run by her children. Soul food classics include (PDF) Sylvia's World Famous Bar-B-Que Ribs, Home-Fried or Smothered Chicken, Chicken Livers, Chicken and Waffles, and Catfish. Sylvia's is at 28 Lenox Ave (between West 126th and 127th Streets).

Oh, and Sylvia's just Tweeted, "Guess who's coming to dinner... @ochocinco ! We ready for ya & have a special surprise for you & your guests!"
