An Update from Mover and Shaker Jenna Esposito: Jenna's April Newsletter!

Hello All! I hope this finds you all doing well and enjoying your Spring! I've had a busy time of it, myself, between regular performances at Grappa Ristorante in Warwick, NY, MetroJam at The Metropolitan Room in Manhattan, and working on a few new projects which we're hoping to announce soon! For now, the BIG announcement is that MetroJam will be switching over to a weekly schedule in July! That's right, instead of the first Friday of the month, we'll be at The Metropolitan Room EVERY Friday night! I'm so excited about this and I hope to see many of you there! Many thanks to our producer, Jeff Leibowitz, for being instrumental in making the change...and speaking of instruments, many thanks, also, to our fabulous MetroJam Band: John DiPinto (piano), Ritt Henn (bass), and Bobby Sher (drums). They've been a huge part of MetroJam from the get-go, and I'm honored to be able to work with them on a regular basis! Stay tuned for updates as we move closer to July!

"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!"
