NIGHTLIGHT: Park Avenue Winter and Gossip Girls

Park Avenue Winter is now at the top of the list of Peachy Deegan's favorite restaurants! She and her schoolgirl friend Margaret were the first two Gossip Girls of the week in attendance to celebrate the appearance of Park Avenue Winter on the Gossip Girl Show on Channel 11 this week. If you know Peachy this really was not such a stretch for her...you can see she was a schoolgirl if you read History of Whom You Know.

The girls began with the seared scallop sandwich and dined on a wonderful fish dinner- both the appetizer and the meal: John Dory and Mizo-Glazed Lobster! Desserts were the chocolate cube and winter white citrus confection. The night went by without a hitch due to the fabulous service of Brielle.

And of course the dinner would not have been complete without the two glasses of champagne, which of course Peachy would not have been drinking when she was prepping as a schoolgirl.

Gossip Girl continues to infect the UES, as mild-mannered restaurant Park Avenue Winter celebrates its cameo on the show by dishing out free dinners and tequila shots to anyone dressed as a schoolgirl. (We hear this is also big in Japan.)

Park Avenue Winter is located at:
100 E. 63rd St, 212-644-1900

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
