Manhattanhenge occurs when sunset aligns with New York City’s grid, making the sun appear to set perfectly between buildings. The event typically happens for two days at the end of May and two days in July. The American Museum of Natural History recommends five viewing locations: 14th Street, 23rd Street, 34th Street, 42nd Street, and 57th Street. Museum officials advise choosing a spot as far east as possible with views across the Hudson River toward New Jersey. On Thursday, half the sun is above the grid at 8:14 p.m., and on Friday the sun appears fully just above the horizon at 8:13 p.m. The next opportunity after Thursday and Friday is July 11 or 12. Thursday is expected to be mostly clear with highs in the 60s around sunset, and sunset is around 8:18 p.m.
