#ChristmasPeachy #PeachysPicks We're Dreaming of a White Christmas with LAVRAKI! Greek Excellence Awaits You Plus Classy Christmas Cheer at @AmmosNewYork by #DimitrisNakos 52 Vanderbilt Avenue Directly West of Grand Central Terminal!

Our studies show that Santa gives the best gifts when he is fed Ammos Estiatorio's LAVRAKI!!!
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry, you'd better not pout I'm telling you why, Santa Claus came to town and he can't wait to eat Lavraki with you at AMMOS ESTIATORIO!  He's at the door waiting for your imminent arrival.
Avid readers know that Lavraki is the magic word in Greek for Sea Bass, Branzino....and many more depending on the language you favor.
Lavraki is amazing any day of the year, but it is a real festive celebration during the Christmas season especially enhanced with Briam: baked mixed vegetables expertly seasoned beautifully with evoo, dill, salt and pepper to bring out their natural essences singing backup with notes of zucchini, carrots and potato to the majestic whole fish.  The elegance of the Lavraki itself cannot be overstated: its sublime flavor will win you over with every bite.  When you order, indicate if you like the bones to be left in place or if you would like them removed.  Peachy likes them removed.  
Lemon roasted potatoes await you in sensational slices with piquant flavor bringing you to the Mediterranean on your palate complete with rosemary and oregano with festive microgreens.  However, the real piece de resistance here are the spectacularly creamy rich Garlic Mashed Potatoes which leads Peachy to believe that perhaps Dimitris O'Nakos may have a bit of Irish blood after all.  The welcoming champion of hit-the-spot deliciousness eagerly awaits your fork and you ought to order double so you can bring the Garlic Mashed Potatoes home with you.  They are that superior.
Finally, there is Baklava, and then there is DIMITRIS'S BAKLAVA.
Say enchante to the extraordinary, incredibly rich layers of phylo dough with walnuts and pistachio in a proprietary winning combination of cinnamon honey teamed up with extra special baklava ice cream!  Raspberry coulis is a celebration drizzled on top.

Ammos continues to earn our Highest Recommendation.
