Sweet the smell.

This is so crazy, that I just had to post a link here. Am I the only person in the entire tri-state area who didn’t smell maple syrup last night???

Gothamist has the full story, lots of links, and a ton of reader comments from all over the city. Go read.

    I also did not smell it and was out and about in the burg that night. I was too busy concentrating on how freaking cold it was. But the news coverage of the syrup smell has been so damn funny…

    just to follow up: if you think you smelled maple syrup in october — and when i say maple syrup i mean pure 100 per cent vermont maple syrup — saturday was the sugar on snow festival in brattleboro vermont.
    sugar on snow, you ask.
    an old vermont tradition to kick off the maple syruping season here … tens of thousands of maple trees … hundreds of thousands of gallons of sap … boiled and boiled and boiled some more, using carefully guarded sugar extracting processes that are generations old, or, in some cases, new vaporization methods … to a ratio of roughly 40 gallons of sap to one gallon of something we’ve grown to love, grade a fancy.
    i expect the stoves to start later this week and go well into the month of march …
    get it while it’s hot.
