obika is coming!

my discovery of the day, from another early-morning wander:
the italian mozzarella bar obika is finally opening in manhattan! it's not my favorite place in italy but i hope this will popularize the real stuff.
here's a picture of a platter some friends and i ordered at its milan outpost. if i can't return to italy this summer, at least i'll have some nice mozzarella di bufala and burrata. now if only someone could persuade anacleto bleve to open a bar in new york.
