It's a biannual event that takes place in New York City, when the setting sun lines up with the east-west streets of Manhattan. These dates are usually around May 28th (appropriate for today!) and July 12th or 13th.

Being in the Chicago area, I'm now curious to see if there is something similar in Chicago. At some point, the angles of the east-west streets here would match the setting sun, but I have never thought about it. Time for research...

But for today, if you'd like to see more photos, check out Flickr: Manhattanhenge Tags
