When you're on an AVH in New York, what does the clue "IS/IS NOT close enough to the river to smell it," mean. Does it mean the Hudson River or the one on the other side. I never been to NYC, so I don't even know how close you have to be to smell it.

"Close enough to the river to smell it" means right along the bank - although this clue has been the discussion of some debate.
You should eventually get a clue telling you whether your co-conspirator is east or west of Fifth street, which will solve the dilemma as to which river is being referred to.

Well, I looked at the New York map again and I guess "right along the bank" could be misleading. In my book, the bartender and the Fortune Teller are close enough to the Hudson River to smell it.
On the other side of the map, the music teacher, shoe maker, waitress and butcher are all "close enough to the river to smell it."

Also you can try this one that will come very handy:

It's another alternative but basically they are both the same

Oh I like maps. Look what I found on a Google Map
From my home town to New York according to Google Maps.
Blah Blah Blah directions to drive halfway across Australia and exit via Darwin...
102. Kayak across the Pacific Ocean 5,404 km
Entering Japan
then more Blah Blah driving through Japan til we get to direction number
911. Kayak across the Pacific Ocean 6,243 km
Entering United States (Hawaii)
and then again at number
925. Kayak across the Pacific Ocean 4,436 km
Entering Washington
Hahahahahaha! I wonder how long that route would take me?
