How do you know when the Hamptons have run their course for the season? Arthur Kade shows up and proclaims the Capri to be the hottest place on earth. What a place.

Spending a weekend at the beach is always nice. Getting a chance to actually meet Arthur Kade would make it an unforgettable weekend. Or so we thought. We had heard rumors that AK 47 would be at the Chelsea on Saturday night, and as luck would have it, he was chatting up an old acquaintance when we walked into the joint. It was all happening. Fully resplendent in his fedora (circa 2007) and trademark vanity shirt, we approached and screamed "Arthur Kade! The Journey!".  After a shaking of the hands and exchanging of pleasantries, we walked away, knowing that the 5 seconds of interaction was enough for one lifetime. But we took away a few observations that we need to share with everyone.

1. Arthur Kade is pretty tall, basically disqualifying him from a career in Hollywood, where everyone is under 5'9".
2. Arthur Kade is extremely jumpy/fidgety. We haven't seen fidgeting like that since the Jane. 
3. Arthur Kade was usually standing by himself or walking in circles.

At around 12:30, Kade walked up to the table we had joined and said "we are going to Dusk". Except he said this general statement to no one in particular, turning to walk off by himself into the night. We wanted to ask about the truth bending, the overwhelming number of negative comments he receives, and if the Journey was really worth the trouble. But he didn't seem like a person with real answers to anything, so we moved on. And then he was gone for good.

Weekends in New York are a different kind of beast. Most try to escape to the beach or upstate for the weekends, and those that stay spend a good amount of time outdoors during the day, draining their night time desires. So who hits the clubs during the summer? A Little Birdy writes, "So being bored on Saturday night in NYC, I decided to venture out and see what 1oak was like on a summer weekend. Amazing what a difference in crowd makeup. It was the largest representation of Jersey, Brooklyn and Queens, that I have ever seen in this place. And of course, your honorary correspondent Arthur Kade showed with some classy Jersey shore ladies. He was wearing an oversize t-shirt with Bada Bing written on it. Enough said."

Just as the Meatpacking District began its rebirth, could one of its heralded new clubs already be on its death bed? The answer is yes, sadly enough, since the one and only Arthur Kade invaded the Griffin this past weekend, saying he "dropped $2,300 on bottle service for a great location at The Griffin. I was surrounded by super-models and so many gorgeous girls that I actually felt a bit overwhelmed, and the manager made sure to give me his card for next time I come. . . .  It felt great to be in a room where I felt people matched up with how I look and act, and are ahead of the game. The atmosphere was great, and I even had a guy tell me outside the bathroom, “You’re a good looking dude”." That's just the scene we know most of you are looking for in a night spot.

The Lower East Side, West Village, and Long Island City all sport their own Sasha Petraske cocktail den. Is Philly next? According to a Little Birdy, the answer is a resounding yes, telling DBTH:

Was at the bar at Death and Co. last night and overheard one of the bartenders (young guy, blond hair) talking about a new bar the Death and Co. folks are opening in Philly. Said it was going to be a similar layout to Death and Co. and called the Franklin Mortgage and Investment Company (1920 gangster founded investment bank used to launder money led by one of Arnold Rothsteins people)

In fact, the Franklin Mortgage and Investment Company was run by Max "Boo Boo" Hoff, a dominating figure in the Philadelphia gambling and boxing arena's, who was labeled the "King of Philadelphia's Bootleggers", but never indicted for any crimes. No word on a project timeline or location, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Arthur Kade will be covering the opening for DBTH.

UPDATE: Our bad - this has nothing to do with Sasha and the Milk and Honey team.

The exciting life of Arthur Kade doesn't stop for a minute, including his invasion of Kiss and Fly. Let's get his recap:

I am not a huge fan of [Kiss and Fly], but the last two times it has been great, and the crowd was hot last night, and our table was on the dance floor, so girls were coming up to me non-stop to talk. At one point, I looked at the table, and we had three bottles going (Two of which were comped by the club), and had 12 girls hanging with us. I talked to a Brazilian model throughout the night that was here on vacation, she could barely speak English and was a 9, and if I were staying in NYC, I would have had a fun night with her, but I had to drive home to take care of some stuff in the morning.

If that's a 9, then we know some lady boys in Phuket who would blow his doors off.

Listen up Merkato 55 and Bagatelle. Master of the Doucheverse Arthur Kade wants you to know that a brunch party is not a brunch party unless he and posse are on the scene. Arthur says that he enjoyed a 9 hour brunch this weekend, in which the restaurant management seated his party in the "front section of the block because the staff knows us and wants us visible to the public." Kade drank several mimosas (he is a celebrity) and really made it happen. But the day was not without incident, because Kade says "I had my gym clothes on, so I went to a clothing store and bought a new outfit for the night, changed at Rouge, and when I came out, one of my friends said, 'You look so hot, I think I would do you right now'." The outfit change is shown above, but it seems that all of the "girls" in Philly share one pair of sunglasses.
