Obikà Mozzarella Bar

Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
Nestled in a corner of a tree-filled atrium is this cheese bar, the first stateside branch of a Roman chain. The fresh formaggi are treated with a reverence typical of sushi spots: A tasting of three, made exclusively from rich water-buffalo milk, included the “Paestum,” a silken ball with smooth skin coating a soft, juicy center. Perhaps the greatest of the curds was the stracciatella, a thick mixture of shredded cow’s-milk mozzarella bathed in cream. Unfortunately, Obikà’s fixings—stale bread, unrefined sides—fall short. Stick to the stellar dairy, which includes desserts like whipped ricotta with orange zest and honey.
