stinky-cheeses-215-smith-022211.jpgAbove: A visual aid to the impending move of Stinky Bklyn, the popular cheese shop that opened at 261 Smith Street back in 2006. If you’re a local who’s come to rely on Stinky for your cheese fix, fear not: The shop isn’t going very far. It’s moving all of two blocks to the former Big Apple Smith grocery space at 215 Smith Street, between Butler and Baltic. Here’s what the tipster who sent these photos in had to say: “The new location looks much larger. I saw workmen in there today carrying in sheets of plywood but it appears that they have just finished gutting the old market and have barely started the renovation. The back area of this store has a big skylight in it. It could be a very nice set-up for Stinky.”

  1. Wow.. first off, I want to congratulate Stinky on their expansion. They do great things for the cheese world in brooklyn.

    As a member of that cheese world myself, I’m horrified to read that people here think that American cheeses are sub par.. our own farms have truly come into their own in the last decade. Of course European classics are wonderful, but so many of them don’t make it to the US, and what does is often sitting on a boat for weeks.. but small farms across the US have the knowledge and creativity to bring us some amazing cheeses, made from milk from animals treated with love and respect. We can visit these farms and meet them ourselves, and taste their treats. THere’s a lot of bad cheese everywhere, but I assure you that Stinky and a handful of other shops around Brooklyn are offering up some amazing treasures. Even if you can’t afford a nugget to take home, I urge you to go into your nearest shop and befriend the monger and just ask to taste one.

  2. “rob’s right on this one, randi.”

    no he is not.

    who said anything about adding flavors to the coffee?

    i’m just saying there IS a difference between good coffee (the BEANS especially) and bad coffee and the same goes for ice cream. some things are not mass produced and use higher quality ingredients and processes and therefore cost more. a bag of freshly roasted coffee beans from fairway or stump town or whatever is far superior to pre ground chock full of nutz. same goes for ice cream, coffee beans, AND cheese.
