This Popular Scandinavian Bakery Is Opening in Brooklyn

A popular Scandinavian bakery is headed to Brooklyn this year. Sebastian Perez and Sebastian Bangsgaard, the owners of Smør, are opening a second location of their Manhattan restaurant at 18 Putnam Avenue, between Downing Street and Grand Avenue, in Clinton Hill. The business will operate as a bakery during the day and as a restaurant with small plates in the evening. The owners opened the original Smør in East Village in 2019 and followed up with a bakery down the street a few years later. The new location, opening this summer, will be their first storefront in Brooklyn.
