Each chef created a culinary masterpiece using one of their preferred 16 Nespresso Grand Crus coffee blends for guests to taste at last night's soiree that Peachy Deegan attended, dressed in Tibi! It was a lovely night and guests were treated to everything from lamb meatballs to oysters to a duck specialty, and the night was topped off with cotton candy. Nespresso did a wonderful job with the flawlessly-executed event. A photo booth inside the store also delighted guests as they posed with their favorite Nespresso-infused smile. The event celebrated the introduction of Nespresso’s new, urban-inspired CitiZ machine available exclusively at Sur La Table for the month of August and in leading department stores, gourmet kitchen stores, specialty stores and Nespresso Boutiques nationwide in September.

For more on this fabulous new machine and all else Nespresso that we love, see our column "Gotham Gadgets."

About Nestlé Nespresso SA

Nestlé Nespresso SA, the worldwide pioneer and market leader in highest-quality premium portioned coffee, introduced consumers to the very highest quality Grands Crus to be enjoyed in the comfort of their own homes, as well as to be savoured at locations outside the home, such as gourmet restaurants, upscale hotels, luxury outlets and offices. What transpired was the creation of the unique Nespresso trilogy, a unique combination of the world’s highest-quality Grands Crus coffees, smart and stylish coffee machines and exceptional customer service. The culmination of these three elements came to be known as the Nespresso Ultimate Coffee Experience.

"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!"
