About:   Eat up: Counter has announced it will close in February of 2011. Counter, the clever little vegetarian bistro, is also an organic wine and martini bar. Literally hundreds of such wines are available, with even herbal vodkas making a more-than-cameo appearance barside. The food revolves on a seasonal basis and is therefore a sure thing for fresh, delicious green ingredients. The bar also has free appetizers from Sunday to Thursday.   by
Who:   Vegetarians who have all but given up on being able to find good southern cooking in NY.
What:   Featuring an all organic selection of beer and wine and vegetarian southern cooking, Counter, as its name suggests, offsets their delicious vegetarian dishes such as the cauliflower risotto, wheat penne and pine nut pesto, and the lentil terrine with and array of "biodynamic" wines and martinis infused with their house grown herbs and spices.
Why:   How can you go wrong with cocktails with names like "The Angry Lesbian", "Not Tonight Dear", or "The Dirtiest Martini"?
