Over 30 callers to NYC's 311 info line called to complain about a sweet smell that was drifting from the Upper West Side, across Central Park and into the Upper East Side. One person called from Queens. New Yorkers described the smell as a mixture of hazelnut and pancake syrup.
This very smell was reported in 2005 and NYC officials 'blamed' it on a possible smell wafting in from a New Jersey food processing plant.
Making New York City smell like syrup and hazelnut? Instead of complaining they should be thanking the Garden State.
hazelnut and pancake syrup?? sounds delicious. there are WORST smells that could be wafting thru the air (maybe some nasty sewage, how would the population like that?)
ReplyDeleteAfter living YEARS down the street from a bakery, Wednesdays was a day during the summertime when the smell of baked goods invaded the neighborhood.
I used to live up the hill from Bunny Bread in Marquette Michigan, and I know what you mean, mornings smelled GOOD....
ReplyDeleteThey get alarmed in NYC - they are used to smelling 'foot.'
