It’s from the streamed clams they’re having.
Hot. Moist. Air.
it’s steam not air
You can’t see steam. It’s not visible to the naked eye.
No it is Moist. Air.
You know how when rockets take off in Florida there’s lots of smoke?
Yeah there’s a tunnel that goes from Florida to New York that the smoke goes through to help heat up the New York streets. So anytime you see smoke in New York it’s cause a rocket was recently shot up in Florida.
TechnologyInfrastructure is incredible!Ah yes, the classic New York fog machine. Turns out it’s not for dramatic effect—just the city’s 19th-century steam system still doing its thing. Who needs modern infrastructure when you’ve got built-in Gotham vibes?
Hundred plus year old infrastructure.
They use a lot of steam for heating still
Volcano under the city
yo mama’s farts
That’s where they cook the Nuts4Nuts
That’s the breath of millions of poops.
They might be smoke testing the system, looking for leaks! Smoke is pumped into water pipe infrastructure and leaks out of potential cracks or undisclosed/illegal sources (such as a company dumping into the sewer system without disclosing it to the city). They do this so they can locate and fix these sources so the water remains uncontaminated by groundwater seepage.
Ooh. I know this one. Parts of NYC still use a steam heating system that was first designed in the late 1800’s:
You should tell this guy.
Imagine having two keyboards just to put your hands in each of them and, like play 4 keys from each… without moving your arms at all…
Thank you. There’s so many people responding with unhelpful answers.

I’ve never been called a boomer before, I’m far from it. Let me exchange a free idea and information; you’re a fucking moron.
Sorry to have hurt your millennial feelings.
No feeling hurt here. Quite the opposite. Again, allow me express my “free exchange of information and ideas” and my somewhat amused feelings; You’re a fucking moron!
Don’t feed the troll, ignore and move on.
And you, sir, are an accomplished wordsmith! I mean, “fucking moron” twice? Brilliant! Thank you for you contributions!
Wtf? Bad form, Peter Pan.
Wow that’s neat
No, that’s heat.
Yeet the heat or beat the meat
Yeet the meat not the heat.
It’s not steam. It’s smoke from wood fired pizza ovens for the turtle men that live there. There was a cartoon documentary about them on tv a few years back.
I never thought of them eating artisan pizzas. I always figured they’d get some shitty dominos.
Ew, gross. They live in a sewer, but they’re not animals.
They’re teenagers, taste doesn’t factor in much after cost and availability.
Have you never seen the movie? The only pizza they ate was from Domino’s.
And in every other piece of media, it isn’t?
They wouldn’t do dominos they’d probably get a variation of Rays famous near them
90s dominos also isn’t today’s dominos.
90s Dominos was trash. Even Dominos recognized old Dominos was trash.
Truth. Whatever they did 10-15 years ago made it tolerable. Not great, but tolerable.
I delivered for two locations shortly after they fixed the pizza. In both locations, shift leads and managers came up with so many excuses for house pizza. More than any other chain I worked for. I didn’t connect the dots until later. The pizza must have been much worse before.
I actually liked the crust after the change. It’s not great, but it was better than most other chains.
Product placement in a movie doesn’t count
They seem to have the only people willing to deliver to a drainage hole.
The New York City steam system includes Con Edison’s Steam Operations, a piped steam system which provides steam to large parts of Manhattan. Other smaller systems provide steam to New York University and Columbia University, and many individual buildings in New York City also have their own steam systems. The steam is used to heat and cool buildings and for cleaning and disinfecting. It is the largest such system in the world and has been in operation since 1882.
Wow, that was quite a read, thanks. Amazing technology
Amazing for the 1800s
Whole parts of Eastern Europe still transport Steam for heating.
What you think of is district heating, it (usually) just uses warm/hot water instead of steam.
You are likely correct.
We have these in Lansing MI too! Part of the Satanic Panic back in the 80s involved kids playing D&D down in parts of the steam tunnels under MSU, which, I’m told, is much harder to do now unfortunately

unfortunatelyvery fortunately since children don’t know how to look out for a superheated steam leak and it was only a matter of time before a child got fucking bisectedFtfy
Wow this makes me realise why so many movies set in New York I watched in the 80’s and 90’s often had steam coming up from the ground.
A new rat pope was elected.
I love how plausible this is

Thank you, much a-brie-ciated.
