#PeachysPicks #TerrificTakeout #NewYork #Manhattan @AmmosNewYork @AmmosEstiatorio by Owner Dimitris Nakos 52 Vanderbilt Avenue Fabulously Feast Upon Fine Greek Cuisine During New York's Winter Restaurant Week January 16, 2024 to February 4, 2024

Say yes please Dimitris to the succulent selections he has imagined and materialized especially just for you!

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and you all know we love love love Ammos Estiatorio and have been singing its praises as a Peachy's Pick Since 2011. Starting on January 16th, Ammos Estiatorio will be kicking off the famous New York Restaurant Week which will be celebrated until February 4th! 52 Vanderbilt Avenue is the place to be! And remember, here's how you get there exactly from Grand Central Terminal. Walk there with Peachy...

Carnivores, is your appetite ready to party!!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be once you see the shining star of the appetizers: Keftedes.

Don't worry, Peachy doesn't speak Greek either but it tells you: ground sirloin meatballs with barrel-aged feta and parsley cooked in tomato.

We tell you:

One hundred percent sensational sirloin in perfectly spherical three-dimensional deliciousness exclusively by Executive Chef Bruno Marino is a wonder in tantalizing tomato.

The feta and parsley accentuation will totally win you over!

As always, you avid readers know we never edit pictures!

The truth is it looks exactly this perfect in real life.

The authenticity of Greece is brought to the stratosphere with the quality Assyrtiko: this one from Wine Art Estate is from a little village in mainland Greece where two wine estates connect through an underground tunnel in a little village near Drama, in Northern Greece. PGI (Protected Government Indication) verifies it's truly authentic, which of course you all know is a universal designation for certifying food and wine.

Full-bodied, this 2022 Assyrtiko boasts a terrific iodinized nose: the salty notes set the stage for successful pairings with all the fine Greek edibles found exclusively at Ammos always, and specifically for this restaurant week.

This winery is owned by two architects which speaks to that design on the bottle, so distinctive and unique.

Everyone knows that a plant-based diet is good for you but when combined with the powerful punch of a Mediterranean diet, which owner Dimitris Nakos knows better than anyone as an Athens, Greece native, it is a surefire winner. Entree Makaronia Manitaria is a smashing vegetarian option: linguini pasta sauteed with evoo, shiitake and cremini mushrooms, garlic, onions, fresh lemon juice, parsley, Santorini wine and seasoned with sea salt, ground pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. The colorful visual is captivating while the tremendous taste will be a delicious time-honored Greek tradition in your stomach.

It's high time you added Yiaourti Krema to your dessert repertoire!

Premium chilled Greek yogurt flan jazzed up with genuine Greek honey and sour cherries strike the right note between healthy and flavorful finalizing your amazing restaurant week experience at Ammos Estiatorio.

From every angle, this sweet wonder will wow you tremendously, closing the deal on the best dinner in town you can have during this fabulous Restaurant Week!

Ammos Estiatorio continues to earn our Highest Recommendation.

"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!"
