The Lower East Side’s hippest party is happening over brunch at The DL

Roblé Ali, in Air Jordans, black jeans and a baseball cap that reads “CAKE” in 2-inch plastic letters, makes his way past the pool and a row of palm trees. He hugs a stunning woman in a black-and-white-striped crop-top and black maxiskirt.

“Birthday boy,” she coos.

“This is Eugena Washington from ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ ” says Ali, who gained fame from his Bravo show, “Chef Roblé & Co.,” in which the chef caters events for celebrities. (Season 2 begins tomorrow night.)

Then he puts his arm around a man, pats his chest and says, “And this is Shaun Ross, the first male, African-American, albino model.”

It may be a dreary May afternoon, but a who’s who of the music, fashion and art worlds have ventured out for a special Saturday edition of Everyday People, a biweekly brunch party hosted by Roblé and friends on the roof of Lower East Side bar The DL, to celebrate his 29th birthday.

Ali Shaheed Muhammad from A Tribe Called Quest sits a few feet away on a wicker couch with deep, red cushions as singer Estelle walks through the door.

Along with his friends Saada, a fashion blogger, and Mohamed “DJ Moma” Hamad, Roblé has been hosting the party, which usually takes place on Sundays, since last June.

The exuberant TV personality says they came up with Everyday People after being fed up with the extravagant scene at Meatpacking parties.

“We’re the anti-champagne brunch. We’re a brunch for everyday creative, fun, cool people; you don’t have to come and spend thousands of dollars to have a good time,” he says with a Stella Artois in his hand as Frank Ocean’s “Novacane” bumps through the room at 2:30 p.m.

His friend Washington says the scene is different from the popular Lavo brunch crowd — “more laid-back.”

And it’s certainly more reasonable than the extravagant Day and Night brunch party, which boasts magnums of Moët or vintage Dom Perignon for $2,500 a pop.

Everyday People may be less expensive — $30 for brunch and three hours of unlimited mimosas — but it’s still exclusive. Only the hosts’ friends or friends of friends have a guaranteed spot on the invite list. And they’re a tight group.

“I’ve known Saada and Mo for years. It’s not even on purpose, but a lot of East Africans kind of run together,” Roblé says. “It’s like this clique.”
