How, when and where to see 2024's second 'Manhattanhenge' this week

The sun sets between two buildings at the end of a busy city street.

New Yorkers are about to experience the second "Manhattanhenge" of the year. Friday, July 12, and Saturday, July 13, are the evenings to be outside at sunset to capture a magical moment. On those dates, only the sun will set on the grid, between skyscrapers, as seen from any east-west street in Manhattan. 

The bi-annual event's nickname comes, of course, from England's Stonehenge, where the rising sun on June's summer solstice aligns with the neolithic monument's Heel Stone.
