Are You Ready For Manhattanhenge 2012? While it’s still more than a few months away, the dates for this truly spectacular and unique to New York City sunset have been announced.  At sunset on May 29/30thth and July 11/12th, the sun will be perfectly aligned with the Manhattan street grid to beam a red and orange hue that illuminates both the north and south sides of every cross street on the grid.  What makes Manhattan so poised for a perfectly aligned sunset is the islands layout, which from the right vantage points, allows for crystal clear views to the horizon across the Hudson River to New Jersey, in combination with skyscrapers like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building that line the streets to create an ideal vertical framework for the setting sun.  It’s a highly anticipated moment for many, as we’re sure the majority of people think to escape the city for such a romantic, clear sunset rather than stay put.
