I recently attended the opening of Highwater Rooftop, the luxury lounge and bar located on the 25th floor of Hotel Indigo’s Wall Street location.
Upon entry into this sky-high experience, I was greeted by mermaid goddesses from Jehan Kamal and Mermaid Entertainers. I was ushered into the bi-level rooftops’ indoor and outdoor spaces while enjoying cocktails and light bites. Drinks were provided by Grey Goose Vodka, Mezcal Ilegal, Código 1530, Bread and Butter Wines, Veuve Clicquot, and Dogal Venezia. Curated cocktails included my favorite, The Declaration, with Angel’s Envy, Tawny Port, Lemon, Demerara, and Egg Whites. Others included the Palomita – infusing Codigo 1530 Rosa, mint, grapefruit, hibiscus, and lime. Another popular drink for bubbly lovers was the Venetian Sunset – a mix of Aperol, bread and butter Prosecco, soda, cranberry, and rosemary.
You can’t have a rooftop party without food, right? Chef Ramon served up truffle mac and cheese balls, chicken tandoori skewers, and beef sliders. Celebrity Chef John DeLucie shared, “Chef Ramon’s ability to effortlessly create an approachable menu with an elevated and refined flavor profile has always impressed me. When you take a bite of his burger, it’s familiar yet has his signature subtle twist that makes it a unique experience.”
As a new destination in the financial district, the Director of Hospitality for Highwater Rooftop and Buttonwood Café, Maggie Zwolak shared, “Highwater Rooftop celebrates the history of Wall Street. Being in the exact location where the New York Stock Exchange was founded, visitors can stop by to enjoy curated cocktails, light bites, and breathtaking 360 views of New York City. The space is also a great fit to accommodate private events in each of our 4 terraces, or welcome a relaxing afternoon for friends, families, and colleagues.”
The views were simply breathtaking. It may have been a chilly night, but the warmth and excitement from the event kept smiles on everyone’s faces.
Guests in attendance included Joelle Garguilo (Emmy Winning Reporter and TV Host), Maria Soccor (Actor), Cassandra Nuñez (Singer/Songwriter), Jibrial Muhammad also known as 19Keys (Activist), Martha Luna (Celebrity Stylist), Urszula Makowska (Influencer), Aaron Paul (Musician), and Esmeralda Baez (Entrepreneur and Author).
