Add a healthy helping of house-infused organic martinis, cocktails, every organic beer and spirit available, and Counter is truly earth friendly. As quoted by Jonathan Miles of the New York Times, "The epicenter of organic cocktails, however, is the bar at Counter, an East Village vegetarian-slash-vegan bistro that's been slinging all-organic drinks-and nothing but-since adding hard liquor to its menu."
