Nothing Says Summer Fun Like A NYC Rooftop Pool Party [15 HD Photos]

On Wednesday Microsoft and Maxim co-hosted a Back To School event on the roof top of Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel in New York City. We got to demo the new Windows 8 exclusive app Cocktail Flow, shot a sweet video with the Bleacher Report guys and some photobombing fun with Maxim’s Maximum Exposure host April Rose. Once the drinks stopped flowing at 10 pm we walked across the street to Tavern 29 for an impromptu after-party with Colin, April, Jessica, Brookelyn and the rest of the Maxim crew. Tavern 29 had a drink on the menu called “The Roosevelt” which was absolutely atrocious so we took it upon ourselves to reinvent the drink, see the recipe below. After a delicious round of 14 Roosevelts for the crew we called it a night. Since I was the Mayor of Blackoutville by 8:30 I don’t remember too much of what happened but good thing I shot a bunch of photos using the HTC Titan II! Here are photos from the madness that was Microsoft and Maxim’s Back To School party!

Knowing the #WPbaseball Bucket List guys would be in the house Microsoft came prepared!

Windows 8 exclusive app Cocktail Flow. Allows you to input everything you have in stock behind the bar and it give you drink options. There are a few databases that do this online but none do it so intuatively and beautifully as Cocktail Flow.

Amazing view from the Gansevoort Park rooftop. Let the boozefest begin!

Our bros from Bleacher Report doing a few interviews around the pool. They asked me to jump in the action so I decided to talk about Cocktail Flow when I really should have been talking about how smokin’ hot April Rose was – skip to 3:01 in the video below.

I was feeling artsy and put the HTC Titan II’s 16 megapixel camera to work. Check out that refection of the Empire State Building on the pool. Pulitzer type material right there, people.
