Perhaps as a response to the recent heat wave, when NYC’s normally odoriferous subways must have risen to a whole new level of rankness, the Gawker crew are asking their readers to submit info about the particular smells of subway stations all over the 5 boroughs. Their goal is to create a “subway smell map” so you can determine precisely how to avoid (I would hope not how to find) any of the nasties in NY’s cornucopia of stench, or at least have the comfort of seeing your own unpleasant olfactory experiences seconded in print. Says Gawker: “if you know of a particular ordure unique to any [station], drop us a line at subwaystink@gmail.com. Be sure to note the station name, and try to be as specific (and as “colorful”) as possible when describing the smell(s). We almost forgot to mention—not all these smells must be bad, you know. Of course, as current data indicates, there’s always room for debate. One person’s “rotting corpse” is apparently another’s “fresh bagels.”
