Basically. I don't think yuppies and hipsters are going to be packing the A Train to take advantage of the Captain's Feast and the endless supply of buttery, garlic and cheddar biscuits.
Most likely buppies and and some yuppies will eat there.
This is the first time I've heard Red Lobster as a yuppie magnet.
Oh, yeah. Red Lobster is definitely out with the yuppie crowd. Some girl told me that they have bad fishing practices or something like that. She says they basically get their seafood from these fishermen who go out in huge boats with these big vacuums and literally suck everything out of the ocean. The occasional otter gets trapped in their nets and makes this, "Onk, onk, onk, onk" sound. I'm sure it has these big, sad eyes when it's trapped in the nets, too. So no, there will be no yuppies going to Red Lobster. You'll probably see an Occupy tent outside of the Red Lobster before you'll see a line of yuppies.
Harlem will continue to gentrify and 125th will be the commercial hub for the yuppies.
There was a great old song circa 1970 that times this Harlem transition perfectly. The song was called "IN THE YEAR 2525!"
A more common alternate might be "When pigs fly."

Buppies in Red Lobster? Not their establishment of choice, that's for sure. Red Rooster would be more their speed for sure. Anytime there is a sit down restaurant chain (meaning one that's not a fast food or a quick service restaurant) in "the hood" it's always the most raucous and dare I say "ghetto" place to eat! It's like hood folks idea of fine dining is going to [insert name of any big sit-down-chain restaurant]. I always joke with my friends that Applebee's is one of the most hood places to eat in the hood.
I'm not opposed to the idea of them opening up there, I think it will add jobs and be a good (economic) addition. However, it's certainly not going to be any type of upscale buppie magnet. If anything it's probably going to attract a lot of families and people looking for a bite to eat before/after visiting the Apollo.

I don't think yuppies were going to Red Lobster even before this unlikely otter story....
Some people think anyone with a job is a yuppie.
