Organic and classy debauchery in the East Village

Counter appetizers

Competing with other hip storefronts in one of the hippest parts of town is Counter, an organic wine & martini bar and vegetarian bistro. I went there a little bit ago for my birthday dinner for two and was not disappointed. They have friendly service and sophisticated homie-ish cooking. I had a lentil loaf, akin to the veggie version of meatloaf. (Definitely try the sweet potato fries, see them in the picture!)

Of course, Counter’s feature is a stocked list of organic wines and organic liquors. They have over 100 wines to choose from, and whatever wine my girlfriend picked I quite enjoyed. Not to be outdone, the bar is outfitted with harder-to-come-by organic liquors and the martinis have typically adventurous names like “Up All Night” and “Angry Lesbian”.
