As you may or may not know, I recently moved to New York City, and I have some exciting news to report: New York City smells great - all the time! Whether you are strutting down Avenue A, hopping on the Fung Wah in Chinatown, or just plain hiding behind a garbage can ogling sunbathing girls in Central Park, an offensive smell is nowhere to be found. Clear to the horizon, no foul odor, as far as the nose can smell. It's really incredible!
nope, still good!
PS. Do you ever think about how at any given time, the smells you smell represent a rough chemical approximation of the sphere of air around you, about how your nose sucks up all these tiny particles of everything and like, nostril-licks them to see what they smell like, and then sends off the lab results to your brain?
