Smith's, the Greenwich Village American from Cindy Smith (Raoul's) and Danny Abrams (Mermaid Inn, Red Cat), debuts tonight in cozy, cafe-like digs lined with black leather booths. Like its name suggests, it's a casual, neighborhood-type place serving seasonal comfort food such as artichoke pasta and steamed egg with creamy polenta and gorgonzola. Note to tipplers: there's a small bar hidden in back.
