As Eater reported on Nov. 16, wd~50 pastry chef Alex Stupak received the OK from the CB3/SLA for Empellon, "a fine-dining Mexican restaurant," at 105 First Ave., home now to Counter.
At the time, Counter owner Deborah Gavito said they'd 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.'"
However, EV Grieve contributor Samo spotted this sign... in which executive chef Elena Balletta explains why Counter will be open for "another few months."

I wonder if Alex Stupak will serve Angry Lesbians for only 13 bucks?
I like her font choice!
You're awesome for looking into this. Thanks!
never understood the appeal of counter. the food was edible but not fantastic. maybe it is for vegans?
