Indeed. Owner Deborah Gavito sent word yesterday that the eatery will be closing in February. She told Gothamist: "they were not priced out of the East Village, but rather she 'decided to simplify' her life and 'the day to day grind of running a restaurant became less and less appealing.'"

That's like Old Devil Moon. She left the biz to raise her newborn twins. Wonderful for them but what about US! *pout* LOL j/kj/k Have a wonderful life in whatever roads you wander :)
It's too bad that Counter is closing. Hopefully, Deborah is going to continue to make food in the EV. Counter's food was not exactly my thing, and they were a bit too expensive for my budget, but the few times I've been there, I've admired their commitment to fine vegetarian food, local sourcing, and generally not worrying too much about being like every other restaurant. Counter, unlike every other place in the 'hood was not a student-friendly place, it was a handsome, responsible, and idiosyncratic place for grownups.
What's going on with Counter? As of tonight, they're still open.
