#PeachysPicks #AmmosEstiatorio @AmmosNewYork by #DimitrisNakos New Year's Eve December 31, 2024 going to January 1, 2025 Presents 5 course menu WITH 3 HOURS OPEN BAR 9-12

It's the holiday season and the elegance famously shines bright at Ammos Estiatorio at 52 Vanderbilt Avenue, just steps away from Grand Central Terminal! December 31st promises to be a superior extravaganza with celebratory flavors that await you to ring in the 2025 New Year with style. Whom You Know recently was honored to have a sneak preview into the culinary feats that can be yours! The menu in its entirety is found at the conclusion; here is what we tried.

Octapodi

Grilled Mediterranean octopus, fennel, capers, onions, roasted red peppers, honey balsamic emulsion

A stunning arrangement of fabulous nutrition including fennel, capers, onions, tomato and red bell pepper sing back up to the perfectly grilled octopus, a creature everyone can relate to in the holiday season where you ought to have eight arms to accomplish everything! The octopus itself is attractively sliced on the diagonal and every bite is a pleasure as it is tender to the palate.

Tonos (Tuna)
Crusted in fine herbs pan-seared tuna, tricolor baby carrots, brussel sprouts, avocado mousse, soy cider vinaigrette

Ammos Estiatorio is renowned for its commitment to seafood excellence and the Tonos, which means Tuna, evidences this with delicious flair. Here, it's an ideal medium rare which we suggest, however, Ammos is happy to make it to your personal preference. We were especially captivated by the brussel sprouts which are an amazing visual contrast of pink and green that surely Lilly Pulitzer would approve of!

Yogurt Flan
Chilled Greek yogurt flan served with honey & sour cherries

A sweet conclusion is an optical triumph with the Yogurt Flan with sour cherries and berries too! With a touch of honey, the authentic Greek dessert will wow your senses and start your year off right!

Ammos 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!"
