A stunning sunset aligns perfectly with the street grid of Manhattan, creating a breathtaking spectacle of light between the skyscrapers. The Empire State Building is silhouetted against the vibrant orange and yellow hues of the setting sun. This rare event, similar to Stonehenge alignment, occurs on specific dates due to the city's grid layout and the sun's path.
