New Yorkers Can’t Stand the Smell of Wingstop’s Fried Chicken | Eater NY

"Residents near a Wingstop that opened in April in the East Village say the smell of fried chicken is blasting into their homes all day, every day and has become "literally unbearable." The odor is affecting tenants in two buildings — 425 E. 13th Street and 426 E. 14th Street — and, according to residents doing outreach for their co-op board, corporate responded that the chain is "within our rights per the terms of our lease" and suggested they "reach out to your landlord to discuss your concerns." Tenants report they can’t escape the smell on balconies, by using AC, or by opening windows: "It comes so quickly without warning and continually throughout the day... Then you feel like you’re wearing it — it’s truly disgusting." - Melissa McCart
