I distinctly remember being involved or around several metal plating operations that gave off a similar smell.
What do you think this might be?

RE: Mysterious New York Odor
Who knows....... I saw it on Fox this morning and was wondering myself.
RE: Mysterious New York Odor
There was a recent study of commuting by underground (subway) in London that noted that one of the factors in the environment was the characteristic odour of the vast masses of people and the ventilation system. The proposal was to introcue aerosol distribution of less odious smells... probably a bright idea from one of the room fragrance (air freshener) companies...
Anyone know just how safe are all these chemicals being sold to an unsuspecting public with which to "freshen up" their homes? everything from aromatic oils to "shake-n-vac" powders?

Thoughts: 1) Barge with lots of spice unloaded it. That or sand worms have been unloosed due to work on Water Tunnel #3... 2) the almonds thing; first to cross my mind, but it didn't smell like almonds. 3) Downtown donut festival? Nope...
4) SERIOUS: someone's testing something, or verifying a computer model. This someone could be a good guy or a bad guy.
Until the cops come up with a definite source, I think it's a good guy just trying things out.

Releasing a chemical such as this would allow a group of individuals (or just one) to test airflow patterns for free gasses within the city. Hell by picking something that smelt good they are getting the citizens to do the data collection for them.

Aren't you supposed to be a structural engineer? And I think you look like a bottle of Hiram Walker...

LCruiser,
I thought Hiram Walker was a small dog with a red collar around his neck (FM)?
