VEGETARIAN FOOD WITH A FRENCH MEDITERRANEAN FLAIR
Try Counter's Panini with Walnut Lentil Pâté (customers have confessed about dreaming about) and cauliflower prepared risotto-style that is rumored to be an aphrodisiac.
THE EPICENTER OF ORGANIC COCKTAILS
According to THE NEW YORK TIMES, Counter is the "epicenter of organic cocktails" in New York. Writer Jonathan Miles praised the "Dirtiest Martini" in particular - one of COUNTER's many humorously-named cocktails such as the "Angry Lesbian."

Editorial Review for Counter -Restaurant & Wine Bar |
| Note-perfect vegetarian Southern cooking for a crowd of young and old East Villagers.
The Scene
Set in a pleasant white room with quasi-retro aqua and pink accents, fronted by a handsome, circular wine bar, Counter has a friendly air of cleanliness and competence. The staff are well-trained, eager to please--occasionally to the point of intrusive doting--and opinionated about the food and drink they serve.
The Food
An all-vegetarian take on mostly traditional Southern cuisine, with a few Asian and other flavors thrown in. Standouts among the Southern fare include a terrific lentil-based version of meat loaf with savory mashed potatoes, an excellent smoked-tofu po' boy and a couple of different burgers. A towering vegetable Napoleon with crisp polenta and cilantro pesto is also tasty, as are savory crepes filled with vegetables and smoked tofu, in potent orange-ginger sauce. Desserts, including a dry poppy seed cake and a Key lime pie |
Insider Tips | What to Drink
Check out the bar, which features a large all-organic selection of beers and wines. Educate your palate with an $12 flight: two-ounce pours of three different wines. |
