Anthos

Detail: Anthos which means blossoming in Greek, [36 West 52nd Street, 212-582-6900] Donatella Arpaia and Chef Michael Psilakis are teaming once again to continue the tradition begun at Dona and Onera. The space, an airy midtown temple of expansive glass, was first home to Acqua Pazza, owned by her brother. Teaming again with designer Matthew Sudock who designed Dona, Onera, davidburke & donatella and Acqua Pazza, Donatella established a palette of delicate pinks and chocolate brown that softens the cool, clean lines of Sudock?s original design. The result is an artful balance of masculine and feminine elements that speaks to the professional union of Donatella and Psilakis and to the needs of the area?s clientele. Anthos promises to bring a wealth of ancient flavors to a modern midtown locale. ?At Onera, I opened people?s eyes to what Greek food could be. Now, Anthos is about blossoming and rebirth,? says Psilakis. ?This is a defining moment of Greek cuisine.
