So it's in the burbs but we've got a lot of Indian restaurants out here in Malvern/Exton... There's a new place opening March 30 that says it will be open at 9 am on weekends - Masala Leaf. I'll be checking it out! https://www.masalaleafindiancuisine.com/

If you eat meat, check out Blacklock in Soho. Went in 2017 and I still have the meat sweats

I was also concerned because it smells like...... clean?

Thought the air smelled like paint in port richmond. I went inside because of it. It's overwhelming

Dudes that run passyunk ave are expats from here. So not as much of a gamble in this case

If you’ve never had Nandos I highly recommend getting some for a lunch. Great peri peri chicken. Closest location to Philadelphia is in D.C. area but London is full of them

Got a package delivered and it smelled like that, now I know I haven’t completely lost it

Eating cuisines where you don’t expect them can be kind of fun. When I was in London, I went to a Mexican restaurant (American didn’t seem like that big of a leap). The corn was baby corns. It was weird and not great!

I can smell it out near Villanova

Crazy, I had my window cracked open and was driving behind a UHaul and just assumed the smell was coming from that. From U City to South Philly that’s all I smelled. Like burning/spilled coolant.

Lol cause desi breakfast doesn't exist, just make chai and wait for Ammas to open at 11

In point breeze smells like glue or strong paint, I thought it was from some of the constructions. My dog doesn’t go out because of it.

Very cool 😎! I got a PTC token as well. I just found a few SEPTA school tokens from the 80s in my stuff. I walked to Frankford HS every day (Class of 1988 ❤️💙💛), but anyone could buy tokens at school back then in Philly. There's a company that makes jewelry out of old bus tokens I saw online a while back. I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the company 😔

It’s inversion. All the pollutants that normally ascend higher up into the atmosphere are currently trapped underneath this cloud layer, at ground level. This usually happens during the colder months, at least once a year. Sometimes it smells like burning or melting plastic, sometimes like a sweet perfume, just depends on which industries you live nearby and down wind from.

Update: has dissipated substantially here

It could be what's called inversion.

Inquirer did an article the last time this occured..

Piggybacking this to say: The newly selected Chief Counsel for the PA DEP (EPA) is the wife of the former republican chairman for the state. A republican latina who has a spotty agenda on the environment, who’s friendly with Gov Shapiro and placed in a role that she has no background for… I’m not sure why the Philadelphia Inquire has not looked into this selection. She was very quiet about her appointment. We’ve now left the legal agenda of the environment in the hands of an unqualified person who doesn’t likely believe in climate change. We’re going to see more of this go unchecked.

Also critically important, why is a democratic governor appointing republican leaders for the environment in PA? I know I did not vote blue for this.

The DiGiorgio’s are historically riddled in scandals.

Yeah I don’t care, ideologues will be ideologues.

Omg my boyfriend said to me as he was leaving today “does it smell like children’s art supplies out here”

Go to Beijing Dumpling in Leicester square, they have incredible soup dumplings!
