Manhattanhenge: May 28-29, 2026Added:
New York City is about to do something wild and almost nobody knows about it.
Manhattan's street grid is tilted slightly off true north. So, twice a year the sun lines up perfectly with the streets. It's called Manhattanhenge and it's happening on May 28th and 29th around 8:15 p.m. The best places to watch this are 34th [music] Street, iconic with the Empire State backdrop, 42nd Street for the widest view and the most [music] dramatic skyline.
And if you want to avoid the crowds, 57th Street and 14th Street. Send this post to [music] all your New York City friends.
