Three men mysteriously emerged from a Midtown Manhattan manhole last week — in at least the fourth incident involving someone venturing into the Big Apple’s sewer system this summer

People keep popping out of New York City sewers — and no one knows why.

The guesses have run the gamut. Social media users have joked about wannabe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Super Mario brothers or “mole people” who live underground.

Some have speculated that it’s the latest influencer stunt. Meanwhile, New York Police Department detectives have appeared to suggest that it was migrants scavenging underground for supplies.

While the incidents have been going on for months, the most recent occurred near Madison Square Garden August 18.

    NYC treasure hunters know that the real shit is going on on the curbs.

    I found an Eames group management chair reproduction by Manhattan home design on the curb. Probably worth $2500. just fucking sitting there on the curb.

    That motherfucker just sat in my living room for maybe 10 years? It just sat there because it was pretty. I enjoyed looking at it.

    I don’t think I sat on at once

    It was just beautiful to look upon. Such a gorgeous piece of design.
