NEW YORK -- For the second time in less than two months, a mysterious maple syrup aroma has wafted over Manhattan and city officials still don't know what caused it.
Callers to the city's 311 help line and the Fire Department reported the pleasant scent Thursday afternoon.
"The calls aren't exactly complaints," city Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Ian Michaels said Friday--no surprise in a city where less appetizing smells are often on the menu.
Michaels said the odor appeared to be the same that people detected Oct. 27.
Tests of the air found nothing dangerous.
