For good smells, I like the smell of honey roasted nuts from a street vendors when it's 40 degrees or colder. The smell of jerk chicken is pretty fantastic, too. The smell of burgers grilling at the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park is wonderful. I agree that Subway's institutional bread baking smell is awful.

subway smells revolting, and people who eat there should be lined up in the street and shot excecution style

>>>A Subway has opened next to my apartment, and my nose thanks me every day for walking past. Subway sandwich shops smell like doctor's offices. There's something antiseptic about that smell. --Sushi places smell awful. Raw fish smell. --Taquerias smell terrific. --Why do they call them Krispy Kreme. They're not krispy and there's usually no kreme. --I love the fried meat smells from Burger Kings and McDonalds. --I like dry cleaning smells, the chemicals they use. --There is no better smell than... Frying bacon. www.forgotten-ny.com

Subway under bad smells? I have to question your taste in all things olfactory, Ms. Chung. A Subway has opened next to my apartment, and my nose thanks me every day for walking past.

The worst smell of the city at the moment is that horrible, yeasty stench from somewhere around the 4th Avenue exit of the Union Square/14th Street station. I can't tell if it's from severely unwashed body/bodies, or maybe from the Au Bon Pain upstairs. For some reason, though, this dreadful stink only comes out at night. It is NASTY!!!

I beg to differ with you. Fresh baking bread at one NYC's over-represented Subway shops smells a wee bit better than greasy Krispy Kremes (aka Kholesterol Kremes).

Parkchester has several concerns. Aside from the Turkey Smog, they also have the Cross Bronx Expressway Smog. The area of I95 handles over 120,000 cars on any given weekday.
