Manhattanhenge, Tonight in NYC


This snap was taken last night at 33rd Street -which was just a preview to tonight's official sunset. "Manhattanhenge" is one of only a few occasions a year when the Sun sets in exact alignment with the Manhattan grid, fully illuminating every single cross-street for the last fifteen minutes of daylight. For best effect, position yourself as far east in Manhattan as possible. But ensure that when you look west across the avenues you can still see New Jersey. Clear cross streets include 14th, 23rd, 34th. 42nd, 57th.
