Hospitality Haven
Three's company (l-r): Sheila Brantley, New Haven BIZ's Ronni Rabin and Tammy
Potis of Harbor Linen get acquainted.
Barroom sprawl: The Blake's restaurant and bar is named Hamilton Park after New
Haven's historic sporting ground.
Four on the floor (l-r): Zane Anthony, Brandon and Dana Doyle and Sarah Dalrymple.
F
eb. 1 marked the debut of New Haven's newest gilded
palace of hospitality, the Blake — a luxury boutique hotel
at George and High Streets.
e 108-room extended-stay hotel just two blocks
from Yale, the Blake is the handiwork of developer
Randy Salvatore, president and CEO or RMS Companies
of Stamford. RMS also recently developed the $40 million
Novella, a 136-unit luxury apartment complex at Chapel and
Howe streets.
To get the party started the Blake hosted a Jan. 31 open
house with edibles, potables and notables from the Elm City
and beyond. A splendid time was had by all
.
n
Couched in no uncertain terms are Aiden Migani of O'Riordan Migani Architects
in Seymour and Amanda Carless of the Yale School of Management.
Hot licks, cool jams: For entertainment, the Blake induced Grammy-winner
trumpeter/composer/producer Michael Leonhart to bring his eponymous orchestra
of NYC/Brooklyn studio/session cats up from Gotham for a side gig in the City of
Elms. They were, to borrow from Steely Dan's Donald Fagan, cruel.
