Sultry



"New York streets are distinctly sultry—especially in Harlem. The defining sights and smells are those that humans make. The eye-catching colors of shop signs, of awnings, of advertisements. The scent of meat being grilled, of ladies' powdery perfumes, of sour body odor—all this mixing with the cabbagey smell of garbage hovering on the street curbs."
Suzanne Rindell, Three-Martini Lunch
