Book Signing and Tea Party
April 16th, 2009

Whom You Know just LOVES Tracy Stern! Tracy Stern, founder of SALONTEA, celebrated the launch of her second book, Tea For You, on April 16th at The Charles Sales Gallery. In Tea For You: Blending Custom Teas to Savor and Share (Clarkson Potter/Publishers) the tea expert and entertaining aficionado shares the delicious secrets of combining herbs, spices and botanicals into a one-of-a-kind tea experience.

The evening began with an intimate pre-party at Tracy Stern SALONTEA TeaBar, where fans including Real Housewife stars Ramona Singer and Alex McCord, Emma Snowdon-Jones and Stern’s family gathered to sample ChariTea- a newly launched tea blend from which proceeds are donated to established NYC charities, and enjoy the fantastical new shop, complete with a glossy ceiling and a disco ball, opened just a month ago. The party continued down the block The Charles Sales Gallery, where a tea party fit for royalty was enjoyed by all, complete with bright “tea hostess” entertainers in full Edwardian garb that was modernized in bold pink and orange from head to toe.

Guests mingled over SALONTEA tea, colorful macaroons, teacakes and champagne as Tracy signed copies of Tea for You. Co-hosts for the event included Wendy Maitland, Director of Sales, Sr. VP of Brown Harris Stevens; Reid Price, Director of Sales, Sr. VP of Brown Harris Stevens; nationally acclaimed event planner Colin Cowie; musician Damon Johnson; music designer Yan Saquet; Real Housewife Alex McCord; stylist Patrick McDonald, jeweler Coralie Charriol and Schooled author Anisha Lakhani. The event played host to guests Geoffrey Bradfield, Sharon Bush, Campion, Chappy and Melissa Morris, Susan Shin, Kristian Laliberte, Michele Gerber Klein, Maggie Norris, Cindy Guyer, Rona Landman, Keith Lissner, Roric Tobin, Annabelle Vartanian and the cast of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

"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!"
