NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gentleman Norman, an adorable 12-year old Pomeranian known for his perfect social manners, will host "How to be a Man: a special Holiday Afternoon Tea at the Hotel Plaza Athenee" to benefit the New York City Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association next Saturday, December 8th from 2:30 to 5pm.
"The Hotel Plaza Athenee has always been pet friendly, and we would like to celebrate the beginning of the Holiday season in a festively unique way, so we decided to host our little furry friend and his care taker Laura Martella, the author of the tongue-and-cheek coffee table book, 'Gentleman Norman: How to be a Man,'" explains Sebastian Wurst, Hotel Manager.
"'Gentleman Norman: How to be a Man' details the fundamental qualities of a true gentleman and demonstrates the virtue that every respectable gentleman must possess," explains Martella who visualized and styled every vignette and wrote the book. "Coming to New York, Gentleman Norman and I decided to stay at the Plaza Athenee because of its elegance and the way Norman was welcomed at this historic New York palace, which has hosted celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor and Lady Diana," Martella adds. http://www.gentlemannorman.com
