#HolidayPeachy #PeachysPicks Celebrate the Best of the Holiday Season with Classic Greek Excellence Exclusively at @AmmosNewYork by #DimitrisNakos 52 Vanderbilt Avenue Directly West of Grand Central Terminal!



It makes everything you celebrate in your life THAT much better!
A majestic steak dinner is just what you need.

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and you know Ammos Estiatorio is one of Peachy Deegan's absolute FAVORITES. It has been a Peachy's Pick since 2011.  It is common knowledge that Peachy love love loves the seafood showcased at 52 Vanderbilt Avenue, steps away from Grand Central Terminal.  Especially the LAVRAKI (look right!).  However, the best of the best in every field are not one-trick ponies.  They are multi-talented!  (See Dr. Nicolas, Orthopedic Surgeon and Chief of Sports Medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital, not a one-trick pony either and he also happens to be Greek.)  So, although Ammos is a seafood mecca, you should know they are absolutely competitive with the best steakhouses in Manhattan and for the most wonderful time of the year, you ought to be eating the most delicious dinners like the 24 ounce Ribeye exclusively at Ammos.
It is gorgeously medium rare just as ordered, and the consistency can be further credited to the longstanding committed relationship Founder and Owner Dimitris Nakos has with his local Greek butcher of over a decade.  Less is more as it is enhanced with just the right amount of fine herbed compound butter along with salt and black pepper.  A lovely plate accentuation of carrot puree and beet puree joins the party festively.  In classy fashion, house-crafted creamy garlic peppercorn sauce and chimichurri pull up to the plate in their white boats to elevate your carnivorous Ammos Estiatorio experience.
So what dishes sing backup to the Brizola?  We suggest the nutritious mountain of Creamy Spinach!  A green garden of glory is expertly combined with parmesan and barrel-aged feta cheese which add complexity in the most tasteful fashion.
Of everything we eat, potatoes might be what we were born to review.  Peachy is Irish.  Peachy has been a resident of Ireland, and has eaten many potatoes there.  The luxurious garlic mashed Idaho potatoes are a delicious dream of cloud-like consistency on your plate gorgeously adorned with fresh herbs.

Ammos continues to earn our Highest Recommendation.
