It’s from the streamed clams they’re having.
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.
Wow that’s neat
No, that’s heat.
Steam from the steamed hams we’re having
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.
A new rat pope was elected.

Some big cities originally heated their buildings by producing steam in one one centralized building and delivering it to large buildings thru pipes underground. The steam you see is from leaking pipes in this antiquated infrastructure. It’s a very inefficient method if you ask me. Cities should offer these buildings low interest loans so they can update and be independent but they never take my advice
District level heating is actually pretty efficient, some universities do the same thing on purpose to save on bills. Our relatively young city does it with the downtown skyscrapers for the same reason.
The other nice thing is that when you upgrade the heating system to be less carbon intensive, you can instantly have a ton of buildings all jump instantly to fewer emissions too.
Denzel movie used the steam pipes
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.
