New York Greek Restaurant - Avra

Recently in New York, I dined at my neighborhood favorite Greek restaurant, Avra, before going to a Radio City Music Hall performance. With so many of my favorite Greek restaurants in Manhattan like Milos, Kefi, and Kellari, it's hard to choose. Avra, located in Manhattan on East 48th Street, never disappoints anyone with it's authentic cozy feeling. Great dining inside or outside. It's comfortable and sophisticated, but most importantly the food is incredible!

The fresh fish selection on ice for each customer to browse by and select from the sea, including Mediterranean specialties such as Barbounia, Lithrini and Fagri. Trying the fish is a must and my personal favorite is Louvraki, a lean white fish. Served whole, meaning head and tail, but they prepare it so it's easy to eat. I crave this all the time.

Have fun ordering a bunch of appetizers and entrees to share "Greek style" and taste the menu. Pictured here is Marvin, holding an incredible presentation of lightly fried Zucchini and Eggplant with Tzatziki. Ask for Marvin next time you dine there and he'll take care of you.
