Queens-born promoter Javan “Scrillz” Bryant moves through New York with a playmaker’s finesse, on and off the mic. Whether he’s catching a game, breaking bread with friends, or shutting down one of his own parties, he knows how to keep the vibe flowing. From stadium seats to late-night lounges, Scrillz shares his go-to spots for staying connected without burning out.

When you want to be “outside” without really being outside, where do you go in NYC?

I like to catch a Mets or Nets game. The hospitality and food at the Barclays Center and Citi Field are fantastic. It feels like home, and the friendly people I meet walking around gives me that “outside” feeling without the intense pressure of being in a club. As a bonus, seeing Pete Alonso hit a homer or Cam Thomas have a 40-ball is too fire.

Where do you go when you want to be around people, but not overwhelmed by people?

I’d go to Saint in Hell’s Kitchen. It’s a smooth spot with great tapas, beautiful women, and superb hookah. It’s truly the perfect place for me to enjoy myself, catch a vibe, or even create my own lil vibe.

What does your perfect NYC day look like, from morning to night?

My perfect day revolves around good meals with friends. I start my day with breakfast from Clinton Baking Co. in the Lower East Side. Then, I’ll browse the fragrance district for new scents that are sure to turn heads when I walk into a room. When I get hungry again, I’ll head to Tatiana’s for their jerk lamb ribs and oxtail. My perfect night ends at one of my own events with all my friends—probably at LilliStar in Williamsburg or Lost in Paradise in LIC
