I thought a part of Manhattan was still coal powered -
Some 20 years ago we took a behind the scenes tour of the museum of natural history and saw huge "doors" where coal was dumped. Our insider said that the museum borders on the 1/2 of the island still powered by coal. And that 1/2 if the museum's property was still coal powered.
Btw - he also showed us the remains of the real Jumbo. Quite cool for a cub scout parent.

However, some coal-generated power from outside NYC does make its way consistently into the market.
