One side effect of the smoking ban

It used to be, when you walked into a New York bar, all you could really smell in the place was the cigarette smoke hanging in the air. Now, you get the bar's real smell, and trust me when I say that's not pretty. The bar I was in last night had a subtle odor that was a mix of stale beer and staler puke.
Thanks, Mayor Bloomberg, for a more fragrant New York.
