Hazelnut co-owner Bryan
Batt has won two Screen Actors Guild Awards for his portrayal of Salvatore Romano on AMC's Emmy, Golden Globe and Peabody Award winning dramatic series MAD MEN.
A veteran of nine Broadway shows and nine Off-Broadway shows, Bryan has penned a "momoir," " She Ain't Heavy, She's My Mother," which was on New York Times critic Janet Maslin's Top Ten Summer Read List. His design book, " Big, Easy Style," will be released in October, 2011. Born
and raised in New Orleans, Bryan divides his time between
the Garden District and the Upper East Side. This blend
of the "Big Apple" and the "Big Easy"
has created a cross-pollination of design styles that
he brings to Hazelnut, creating its unique sensibility
of chic, mixed with old world charm. |
