Along the Gowanus Canal, Notes of Tar and Manure
Not long ago, the residents of Gowanus, in Brooklyn, began to notice that the smell of their canal, known for its unpleasant odor since the Gilded Age, had reached a new level of pungency. An ongoing Superfund cleanup, begun in 2020, along with the hubbub of development projects and the raw sewage that flows into the canal whenever it rains, had stirred up an unpredictable blend of contaminants. Ridding the waterway of its stinky pollutants is a years-long process. For now, the city has a temporary fix: perfumery. The Department of Environmental Protection, with the help of what it calls an “odor-neutralizing misting system,” has been pumping citrus and “Christmas” scents near the canal—a civic version of the powder-room staple Poo-Pourri.

Bonnie Slotnick, the Downtown Food-History Savant
On a humid afternoon not long ago, Bonnie Slotnick, the owner of an eponymous cookbook shop in the East Village, hiked up to the carpeted top floor of an elegant town house on West Twelfth Street. Slotnick, who is seventy and slight, almost wispy, wore a sleeveless linen shirt pinned with a small enamel carrot. The house had belonged to the late food writer Mimi Sheraton—the first woman to hold the position of restaurant critic at the Times, who further distinguished herself by wearing disguises on the job—and was freshly on the market. In advance of its sale, Sheraton’s son had emptied its four stories of almost everything but his mother’s vast collection of books on food and cooking. In the house’s eaves, where Sheraton and her husband kept cozy twin offices, the books awaited Slotnick, who specializes in out-of-print and antiquarian titles, and who’d been given first dibs.
