Happy Holidays! I come bearing perfection family. I was out with @RosaAcosta x Draya Michele @DrayaFace last night. And my darling Deanna Reve @DeannaRevex. Gorgeous. In its most purest form.

I was out having cocktails with @IdrisElba, @BevySmith, @TherealTaraji & Claire from @thefashionbomb! And this was on a Monday night. Idris is a great dj low key. He knows his beats. We had cocktails at the James Hotel. And then work was in the morning. And I was on time! He is very busy! Boop.

The Phifer landed in Brooklyn. It’s true! Last week I attended the Heineken x James Bond event donning my usual uniform: all black. The event celebrated Heineken’s 15-year partnership with James Bond at the MTA Museum where they transformed the venue into a James Bond film. Flawless. I’m sending you over to my boy Marcus Troy’s spot for the pictorials in detail! I ran into him and William Yan. Perfect times.

Aim, bang, then reload.
Picasso is on my plate.
Watch out for the waves.
This is ”situation delicate.” #veryrare

Marquis Phifer likes nice things.
Splashes of luxury.
New York will never be the same.
Phifer is in the City.
Fashion’s Night Out.
The streets is watching!
He’s a leader and a champion.

Look, I’m not tryin to give you love and affection; I’m tryin to give you sixty seconds of perfection. You love it. And I love giving it to you. Appetite for life and the hunger for more. Phifer snatched at Le Bain, the 18th floor and rooftop club at The Standard hotel in New York. Oh so chic on this September 1st afternoon as I attended Swimming With Sharks summer parties with friends. To learn more about SWS adjust your mouse here.

The other day, Saturday, covered in creme silk I brought the day in facing the marina. Real intimate, no large passenger ships. Marvelous little thing – the body of yacht. You know I love the trill of the rush. And it’s so easy to fall in love, cause they’re too boujee to wear Gucci. She said, “I want something very rare.”

Current Affairs: I’m trippin’ — I’m caught up in the moment, right. Twenty twelve summer nights are getting hotter. Like we won a championship game, I chopped off the sleeves to my new “Eev Sahn Low-Rahn” tee, RIP. It looks like a vacation but only on camera. Everything is different when time is on your side. Like, series of beautiful interactions flooding over. Let my friends marinate for a second. It was one of those nights in the city like every night.

Happy Holidays. Salutations and greetings from Brooklyn and the Team. The finale to the #SummerFridays madness was 48 hours ago. Can you master that? Pictures here if you missed all of the terrace glory.

L to R, Melba’s Chicken & Eggnog Waffles, Salmon Caesar, White Sangria at Lido, White Sangria at Melba’s, Peaches & Almonds cocktail at Harlem Social.
(Please remember to do your exercises). Let me preface this with some background, so you understand the nature of my guide. Phifer; the original lifestyle architect and arbitrator for the Millennial Generation has been on a restaurant tour in your town, and he’s showing up snatched with a cause! Harlem might change your life. Note: change your life. I’ve been here for four weeks and some change and I have found you some of the best little gems in Harlem! Melba’s, Lido and Harlem Social will top off your life like it’s a religion (you’ve got yourself a deal with any of these options). The atmosphere of each restaurant is a bustling active crowd and the food and spirits are excellent. Not snooty or pretentious, but each dish pictured above is a must have. So have it! Gooood food is a must have for any neighborhood and I choose all three. Melba’s for brunch (I love a sangria and mango mimosa story). Lido when mio scento italiano! And Harlem Social to be social. Happy Holidays!
