Durham, NC, used to smell like chocolate when the tobacco in the warehouses was curing. I wonder if they're curing something else in NYC?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
A quick poll of my outer borough co-workers seems to confirm that last night's syrup was only smellable in Queens.
