Why? (non LBC)

Someone tell me please...
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?
