The maple syrup smell is back!
Even before Jason alerted me that Gothamist had posted their syrup tracking map, I could smell it coming in from the bedroom window. Now if you think I've gone off the deep end, you're not that far off. But here in NYC (mostly Manhattan but some neighborhoods in Queens experience the phenomenon as well) we get a yearly or sometimes bi-yearly heavy smell of maple syrup in the air. It seemingly comes out of nowhere, is not attributable to any factory, restaurant, river or other. It's unexplainable but it's DIVINE!
Some places have UFO sightings, we have syrup smells. Get thee to a diner for a stack of pancakes STAT!

I miss the weirdness of daily NYC life... :D
You ARE kidding right? I mean in NYC the smells that come wafting in your open window could be many things - but maple syrup? You're fibbin!

It's probably a fleet of taxis with blown head gaskets. That's what my car smelled like before she died. :(
Maple syrup and head gaskets? NYC taxis?
Uh, you all need to spend some time over an open vat of sap while it's boiling down (like at the Sweet Compound) to really experience this.
Weird stuff. Sure you don't have a local brewery whipping up a batch of winter ale?
Even more weird...someone tracks this stuff.
Mmmmmmm, pancakes!!!!
Did you see RW? Know of that store in Manhattan...How Sweet it is?
Looks like some healthy cupcake porn.
