Smells like...

There are little food carts all over the city- they smell like charcoal, yiros or gyros as they are known here. This is the main smell of NYC.

The other main smell is cigarette smoke- everyone smokes here.

In central park, is the same as above, with the addition of roasted nuts and horse shit (romance on a horse and cart...)

Amazingly, when it is below zero you do not notice the smell too much as you are more worried about your nose falling off.

A very cliche pic below- but it is how it is here, steam out of every hole from the subway.

Just caught some sunshine in greenwich- thaw out the lips. Now on to soho and Chinatown for duck, then to the big statue (also below- taken from free staten is ferry).

Guggenheim yesterday was well worth the 1 hour walk in -11c. For his retirement, maurizio cattelan decided to hang a complete retrospective down the middle of the building.
