Smart part of America accommodating a Rechabite? (5)
I believe the answer is:
natty
'smart' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'part of america accommodating a rechabite?' is the wordplay.
'part of america' becomes 'NY' (short for New York).
'accommodating' is an insertion indicator.
'rechabite?' becomes 'TT' (both can mean a teetotaller).
'a'+'tt'='att'
'ny' going around 'att' is 'NATTY'.
(Other definitions for natty that I've seen before include "Smart, spruce" , "Smartly dressed" , "Flashily smart" , "Stylish" , "Stylishly dressed" .)
