Manhattan Henge
During which the Sun shines directly down the east-west streets of the main street grid
of Manhattan on two days per year near the Summer Solstice

The term "Manhattanhenge" was popularized by Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist
at the American Museum of Natural History and a native New Yorker. It is a reference to
Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England, which was constructed
so that the rising sun, seen from the center of the monument at the time of the summer solstice,
aligns with the outer "Heel Stone"
