MYSTERY OF THE SOUTH ST. STINKPORT
July 27, 2008
There's something fishy at South Street Seaport.
A mystery odor wafting through the seaport's residential neighborhood for the past few weeks has restaurants reeling, homeowners gagging and tourists left holding their noses.
"It's disgusting - like rotten fish left out on a sidewalk for a year," said Venanzio Pasubio, 33, owner of ll Brigante, a restaurant on Front Street.
With the Fulton Fish Market long gone, theories abound on the origin of the odor. Some think it's illegal dumping; others point fingers at the Waterfalls art project; one person insists that it's the preserved corpses on display at "Bodies, the Exhibition" nearby.
"No one knows where it's coming from. It's a mystery," Pasubio said. Customers have complained, one refused to sit outdoors, and many insisted that the front door stay closed.
