Ribbon Cutting at The Barlow

Although proprietors Duncan Calhoun and Russ Gibson report that they had a houseful of guests over the weekend, today marked the official grand opening and ribbon cutting at The Barlow, Hudson's new sixteen-room boutique hotel. Tout le monde turned out at the end of the day to hang out in the comfortable lobby, explore the handsomely furnished and meticulously appointed guest rooms, congratulate Calhoun and Gibson on their achievement, sip wine (white, rosé, and sparkling), and nibble sumptuous hors d'oeuvres from such eateries as Relish, Café Le Perche, and Park Falafel (those are just the cards that Gossips noticed). At 5 o'clock, everyone trooped outside to witness the ribbon cutting, orchestrated by the Chamber of Commerce.
