Sbraga's Chef's Counter

The eponymous Top Chef winner/Padma boob starer behind Sbraga's is stealing six kitchen-facing seats from their lengthy marble top and turning them into a legitimate Chef's Counter, where he'll personally turn out a sextet of prix fixe courses twice a night (think: lobster tartare w/ creme fraiche'd caviar, or duck & foie gras dumplings), with an optional wine pairing and not-optional boozy final course: a 2012 take on the Singapore Sling 2010 that won him TC, with coconut blancmange on top of a gin & pineapple cocktail.
