This effect is usually viewed at the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Manhattanhenge is a natural phenomenon that occurs during twice a year. This phenomenon takes place while the setting sun aligns with the east–west streets of the main street grid. During this effect, a viewer on one of the gridded east-west streets can see the sun setting over a new jersey which is directly opposite from the street, along its centerline. Manhattanhenge effect usually occurs in May 28 and July 12 or July 13. This effect is a rare and beautiful sight. The setting Sun aligns correctly with the grids of Manhattan street which can create a radiant glow of light across the Manhattan's brick and steel canyons, suddenly illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of borough's grid. This is an amazing view.
