The Dream Hotel is offering a different kind of swim-up bar this summer. Every Thursday, Erin Dana — the accessories brand that counts Taylor Swift and Hannah Bronfman as fans of its pieces — will offer pool-goers a "Choker Bar" at Dream Beach all summer sixteen. Yup, yet another place to find the trendy item in this city.
You'll be able to purchase python and leather necklaces while sipping cocktails on New York City's only pool with a sanded beach, and they're customizable, too: different colors will be available and they can be personalized with initials, words, or short phrases. A rotating selection of other merch will be available, too (so here's hoping she brings out those spliff tubes.)
Below, a few examples of the chokers you'll be able to shop:
