“Unassuming & down-to-earth, yet undeniably stylish, this Nolita lounge has a lot of presence.  Candles accent this sexy, cushy spot with low slung couches & tables.  Obivia whips up tasty, offbeat cocktails like the Dirty Sage Martini with gin, fresh sage, vermouth, and a blue cheese olive or the Basil Grande with vodka, muddled strawberries, fresh basil, Grand Marnier, and a touch of black pepper.  A tasty and inventive menu of light fare and bottle service round things out at Obivia.”
