This summer in the city isn’t just hot and gritty — it smells!
Walking around the Big Apple these days amounts to an olfactory assault by some of the foulest odors imaginable, disgusted New Yorkers said Wednesday.
“Every morning I smell like a rancid smell, like rotten food that has been sitting there for a while,” said Justin Colon, a porter at a Times Square office tower.
Tech worker Jaiden Williams, 37, described the city’s stench as “gnarly and cadaverous.”
“No matter what you do — if you douse yourself in a bottle of perfume or Chanel No. 5 — the scent is still on the tip of your nose,” the Hell’s Kitchen resident said.

On West 46th Street, one office worker was overheard asking another, “Why does the city smell like a used diaper these days?”
The answer, Colon said, is simple.
“I clean the steps going down to the subway. I’ve cleaned up poop so many times,” he said. “This morning I was cleaning up poop.”
One Manhattan cop said, “It is not uncommon to see human feces on the street,” adding: “I guess you only have to pick up after your dog.”
A Manhattan NYPD detective said bluntly, “The homeless people are s–tting all over the place.”
