As mentioned previously, the new Midtown location of East Village American comfort food/bistro spot The Smith opened to the public this Saturday in a gigantic new space complete with subway tiles, liquor walls, and a shoe shine in the bathroom. A quick look around the above gallery proves they can easily fit 150 in the main dining areas and almost another 50 at the bar, so the owners must be confident the Midtown lunch and after work hordes will flock to the place. They're offering similar fare to the original; check out the menus here.
