Is Obika Worth Returning To? These Photos Say Yes.

Remember Obika, the Italian Mozzarella bar that opened in the atrium on Madison & 56th last year? Their sandwiches were pretty good, but a little small for the price- and I haven’t really thought about going back since the original +/- they got in November. That is, until I saw these photos that chris6sigma posted to the Midtown Lunch Flickr Photo Pool. Damn, that mozzarella/proscuitto sandwich looks good.
But the eye grabber (and the thing that may have me drop everything to return immediately) is after the jump…

Is that nutella? Inside Sullivan Street Bakery bread? With powdered sugar on top? Yes please!

Hey ML, thanks for plugging my photos. I thought the food was a little out of range and undersized for an average Midtown Lunch, though it was still tasty. Unless you’re rolling Scrooge McDuck style, or on an exp account, it probably isn’t the best option.
pretty good timing on this post. i just hit up obika this past friday for a to-go sandwich for the first time since it opened. here are my conclusions: (i) still running out of sandwiches — only had 2 kinds left, (ii) i had the porchetta sandwich which was pretty good, but small for its $9 price tag, (iii) the service is pretty slow and they can be pretty rude. you should see if they’ll do an ML Sandwich Challenge entry.
