Top 10 New York Smells I Like Today


New York has loads of smells. Loads. And some are pleasant and some require a body bag.

Here is my list today that I noticed. In no order.

1. the dampness of the subway. (Reminds me of Glasgow - old and wet and historic)
2. new Band-Aids at the gym
3. garlic wafting out of the Italian restaurant on my corner
4. incense being sold on the street
5. Fresh apples at the Sunday market on Columbus.
6. The floating smell of fresh bagels from H & H on Columbus.
7. dirt in Central Park
8. cheap coffee in coffee pots in the church hall
9. the New Yorker magazine
10. The stairwell in "my" brownstone
