Bee’s Knees Provisions

215 Smith St., nr. Baltic St.

Taj Singh opened this boutique grocer and wine bar in August—a block south of a polished new Sichuan place named Shan and a gleaming, glass-fronted mini Whole Foods look-alike called Dumbo Market—and sales have grown every week since. In the space that used to be Stinky Bklyn, Singh is hedging his bets somewhat: selling artisanal pasta and gourmet Maraschino cherries in a provisions area up front with wine, beer, coffee, and charcuterie boards in a separate café area.
