When the setting sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, it creates a radiant glow of light across Manhattan's brick and steel canyons, aka Manhattanhenge! As the sun sets on the grid, half the disk sits above and half below the horizon. Great viewing spots include 42nd Street and 72nd Street, along with the Tudor City overpass, and along the East River to places like Gantry Plaza State Park or Hunter’s Point.
