Spring is here and Smith Street’s budding storefronts are beginning to bloom. A Brooklyn Life offers a photo tour of the new spots. Sapodilla, a restaurant, bar, and lounge, announces itself with a hand-written sign tacked up on the old Village 247 space, Provence en Boite replaces Baluchi’s, and Porchetta, yet another French bistro, fills Banania’s old digs. Stinky Brooklyn offers cheese, sweets, and cured meats, while Bird promises pretty little numbers for the ladies — at sky-high prices.
