Smith Street Is Getting a Hookah Bar!

Well, sort of. On Sackett Street, just steps from Smith and just behind Zaytoon’s, there’s a new awning up for a place called Sheesha. We’re assuming the name refers to a sheesha or hookah pipe, as there’s one pictured on the awning. (See close-up at right.) Anybody know if the place is affiliated with Zaytoon’s? And does anybody know if hookah bars are exempt from the smoking ban? If they are, this new spot could be drawing a lot of neighborhood smokers in from the cold.
