The grand opening of Haven was about what you’d expect of a new girl-drink bar in midtown: tons of Chardonnay, Conor Paolo from Gossip Girl, Murray Hill’s shiniest residents taking a chance at the door. Pretty typical. Oh, and since Benji Madden was D.J.ing, Paris Hilton was there — she lent the place some early-aughts credibility, we guess? Who knew she even did New York openings anymore? God, it really is like 2002 all over again. Shudder.
