Twice a year, the sun aligns with the streets running east and west. This phenomenon only occurs because the city is aligned with true North. Sometimes it's called "Manhattanhenge."I happened to be coming back from yoga around 8:30 or 9pm the first night I was in New York, and noticed people were stopping in the middle of the street to take a picture of the sunset (people do NOT normally stop in the middle of the street!). I pulled out my iPhone and shot this pic.
It wasn't until a week or two later that James sent me an article about "Manhattanhenge." Really cool, and a great memory!
