Beginning late evening of Monday, June 15th, caffeine no longer works in significant portions of New York City and surrounding areas. The affected area encompasses all of Manhattan below 130th Street as well as western Queens, northern Brooklyn, and even slim stretches eastern Hoboken and Union City. The boundaries of this area are uneven, and caffeine has a weakened effect near the edge.

- On July 15, 2015, the area of effect shifted south and east by a very noticeable margin, sparing most of the Jersey coast but affecting more of Queens and Brooklyn.
- Over the latter half of July, the phenomenon has become both more mobile and more sporadic.
- At present, caffeine works semi-reliably from morning to noon on weekdays, and often for most of the day on weekends.

|
| Decaf - Hooked on coffee, tea, yerba maté, or migraine medicine? None of it has any kick within the affected area.
|
| Bad for Business - Cafés, tea houses, and restaurants are going to have a lot of disappointed and maybe even angry customers.
|
| Witch Hunt - A lot of groggy, under-caffeinated people are going to be looking for mutants to blame.
