Anyone can have just chicken but Ammos has Kotopoulo!
Celebratory Kotopoulo, the main course, kicks off New York Restaurant Week Summer 2026 with the bespoke Ammos Old Fashioned!
If you really know Peachy, you know starting in 2009 and the early years of Whom You Know, our alcohol reviews outnumbered our restaurant reviews in the neighborhood of about five times as many. It is quite the opposite and even less now, but we commence this review with the best cocktail Peachy has ever had in her life at Ammos, and she has been going there since 2011. If you look at the childhood picture of her you may think she was too young to drink with that lobster claw but in fact she was eating the cherries out of her grandparents' Manhattan cocktails which surely was a harbinger of what was to come. Tsering brilliantly has crafted the simply smashing ORIGINAL AMMOS OLD FASHIONED with a summer flair and Greek accentuation, making it unforgettable.
2 ounces of whiskey, Fig Syrup, Angostura Bitters, Grapefruit Bitters and Grapefruit zest combine in perfect proportion to absolutely make your day, even you, Clint Eastwood.
It's a sunny twist on the classic, bold, bright and unmistakably Ammos.
And, it is high time for you to start planning your New York Restaurant Week:
July 20 to September 6, 2026 and Ammos Estiatorio at 52 Vanderbilt Avenue should top your list.

BUT BEFORE THAT MAKE SURE YOU WISH DIMITRIS A HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON JULY 4TH!
So, the breaking news is the menu!
We have it first just for you: our spectacular readers.
May we remind you that the Mediterranean diet is tops for health and your Ammos experience begins with crudites including carrots, celery, radishes, cucumber and hummus:
Horiatiki Salad vibrantly ups the nutrition and deliciousness in your life with vegetables harvested at the peak of ripeness in the summer season. Beefsteak tomatoes, Kalamata olives, Spring onions, Cucumbers, tri-color peppers, barrel-aged feta and fresh Mount Taygetos oregano rejoice in an elevated olive oil dressing.
As we said, anyone can have just chicken but Ammos has KOTOPOULO!
Gorgeous succulently roasted organic half chicken emerges from a bespoke bath marination of fresh lemons and herbaceous Greek excellence ensuring premium moistness. Sauteed Brussel Sprouts intelligently halved sing backup with wild mushrooms to further ravish your appetite, along with the signature quintessential lemon potatoes. Sealing the deal on the ultimate Restaurant Week experience is Yiaourti Krema: premium chilled Greek Yogurt infused with seasonal berries and majestically acclaimed with sour cherries. And remember, order the Ammos Old Fashioned!
