Last night, I went to 23rd Street to take a look at Manhattan Henge. There are only two nights a year that the sunset aligns with the grid of the Manhattan streets. Yesterday was the first time this year and the next time is July 11. It was a little bit cloudy, so we missed the very last moments which are the best, but you can bet I’ll be out again on the 11th to see it.

During the walk signals, the street filled with people trying to get a glimpse (and a photo). Kristin said, “I love that there are this many geeks in New York that come out and see this.”
