Continuing yesterday’s look at retail activity on Smith Street, 423 Smith highlights two new spots in the hood. In a burst of synergistic brilliance, the folks behind Smith and Vine are about to open a new cheese shop named, appropriately, Stinky. We’ll be interested to see how it stacks up against our current fave, the Bedford Cheese Shop in the Williamsburg mini mall. In other news, the Park Slope fashionistas behind Bird have opened a new location at 220 Smith Street.
Always Something New on Smith [423 Smith]
Stinky is gonna RULE!!! Can’t wait!
Which doesn’t mean they are good…
If there is anything that is NOT in short supply in Brownstone Brooklyn (outside of Brooklyn Heights anyway) it is French restaurants and bistros. Visit Carroll Gardens, Cobble/Boerum Hill, Ft. Greene, Park Slope and you’ll have many to choose from…
“any charming french or swiss restaurants”
Plenty of French styled restaurant/bistros in downtown Brooklyn. Bachus and Jolie on Atlantic. Bar Tabac on Smith. Moutarde and (my favorite) Belleville on 5th Avenue. Unfortunately, Austria (Thomas Beisl) is as close to Switzerland as your going to get in Brooklyn.
anyone think smith st. is becoming more like 7th ave in PS?
all this talk of cheese, anyplace good in brooklyn to get fondue? any charming french or swiss restaurants?
nothing in heights, i looked.
I love Smith & Vine. If Stinky takes the same approach of well selected offerings and highly knowledgeable staff, I’ll be there every week.
I went to Fairway on Sunday morning and the cheese guy seemed to be busy with something and wasn’t very helpful. With 250 varieties, you have to offer some guidance.
Fairway has a great cheese selection, even if there’s no place to park my $800 bike (kidding!)
Tuller is excellent for cheese. Their resident cheese-man is very knowledgeable and helped my make some excellent selections for a wine & cheese party I had at home. I’ll try Stinky also, despite its silly name.
