Two weekends ago I went into New York City to meet up with my best friends from Hopkins! We talk almost every day but are always missing each other and can't even think about not moving back to Baltimore next year without getting a little ~emo~, so we decided to hang out and get drinks after Josie finished her first week of work.
I'm really lucky that two of my closest friends live so close to me even when we are home, and there is nothing we love more than looking up rooftop bars in NYC with Instagrammable drinks. Of course, Loopy Doopy at the Conrad Hotel was one at the top of our list. The Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar is known for its prosecco drinks with popsicles in them, which you can see in the first pic where I am being absoluely ridiculous and way too excited about a boozy popsicle.
All three of us love a good Poke bowl, so we stopped at Poke Green, which was super cute and yummy, before walking around the area and checking out Josie's old high school. I don't spend nearly as much time in the city as either Josie or Jacqui, but I successfully navigated us from the subway station to Poke Green, which honestly was probably my shining achievement of the day.
Here's Josie standing in front of her high school! Isn't her Zara dress the cutest? Some similar options are linked here:
After walking around by the school, we went to Battery Park to walk around and look out over the Hudson River before going to the bar. Loopy Doopy is on the top floor of the Conrad Hotel, which is so enormous and beautiful! There are so many elevators and escalators when you walk inside that we had no idea which one would take us to the top, until we found some girls who looked like they were also ready to Boomerang themselves cheers-ing and we followed them ;)
To be honest, we were shocked when we got inside at how small Loopy Doopy actually is! It looks gigantic in photographs but it was really packed and tables were few and far between, especially since there were a few reserved tables for birthday parties. The drinks were also priceyyy but we all enjoyed going for the experience and to say that we had done it at least once. Jacqui and I both got rose prosecco with the Strawberry Basil pop and Josie got prosecco with the blackberry lime pop!
After Loopy Doopy, we went back to Battery Park to watch the sunset and chat on the benches by the water until it was time for us all to go home. The sunset was gorgeous and we got to see the river cruise boats go by. Right nearby is the Freedom Tower, so I was able to snap some shots of that as well! It was seriously such a fun, relaxing day with friends. We have lots more places on our list to check out in NYC, like the Glossier headquarters and the Rosé Bar at Skylark. Do you have a favorite rooftop bar we should check out?
