I think I know the answer- In some older cities in the East of the US, heat
to buildings is still provided by steam- some must escape from underground
steam pipes, hence the smoking drain covers! Is that right, or was someone
"pulling my leg"?

Why do the drain covers in NY smoke?
In the UK, every time they want a news picture to show NY - they show
smoke coming out of the drain covers in the street! Sort of the NY
equivalent of red London buses I suppose. Yellow taxis and smokin
drains!  Must be some reason?
