Cities known for specific food and outdoor smells can trigger your memories. One whiff, and boom! You\u2019re reminded of your favorite travel experiences.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve followed the scent and picked 10 of the nation\u2019s smelliest cities that will remind you of your visit every time you catch a whiff of these signature smells.<\/p>\n

Lexington, North Carolina<\/a><\/h3>\n

Scent: Barbecue<\/strong>
\nThe thick, sweet smoke, tangled with the scent of hickory, wafts through from the barbecue pits in Lexington. Here the air smells of tender meat, falling off the bone, slathered in the town\u2019s very own tomato-based sauce. The smell alone will lead you to the best barbeque in Lexington, NC. Home to the highest number of barbecue joints per capita, the city\u2019s signature scent lingers all along the Historic Barbecue Trail, from the Bar-B-Q Center to the annual Barbecue Festival.<\/p>\n
