Manhattenhenge is home to a fascinating sunset phenomenon twice a year, on May 28 and July 12.
The Sun sets directly at the end of many of New York City's major streets twice a year because the city is built on a grid that is rotated 29 degrees clockwise from true east-west. This results in a stunning sunset, with the Sun nestled in between the rows of buildings and slightly above the horizon.
