Actually NYC only smells like that because of the odors drifting across from New Jersey's gas refineries!!! :-)
There is a refinery that is along old Route 66/I-55 just south of Joliet, IL. I know I'm getting close to Joliet (coming from the south) whenever I smell that refinery's output because the mercaptan or whatever else they put in that gas just PERMEATES the surrounding air.
