Manhattanhenge — "when the setting sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid and you line up to Instagram the shit out of it" — returns this weekend.

Here are the particulars via Gothamist:

Half Sun on the Grid
Friday, May 29 8:12 P.M. EDT
Monday, July 13 8:21 P.M. EDT

Full Sun on the Grid
Saturday, May 30 8:12 P.M. EDT
Sunday, July 12 8:20 P.M. EDT

The weather promises to be quite lovely this evening, so the Manhattanhenging should go well. Had a good practice run last evening... via ‏@WonderlandNYC...

  1. Will this block street traffic and if so will there be NYPD in riot gear?

    Do these people have a permit to march and congregate?

    Oh wait, it's mostly white people who will partake in this so it's ok,right Bratton and De Blase O, The Invisible Mayor. Has there ever been a New York mayor who has appeared less in public than De Blasio?
