This week we salute John Randel, who had the idea for the street grid in Manhattan; which makes New York City the easiest large city to move through in the world. We are celebrating the grid's 200th birthday this year. In honor of that, I bring you Manhattanhenge, which only happens twice a year.
And 25th Episode on the 25th only happens once in a lifetime...
Isn't Manhattanhenge actually FOUR times a year - Two sunsets AND two sunrises? I myself have never seen the sunrise version but I'm sure it exists.

I was walking a group down Seventh Avenue a few weeks ago and said the same thing as the sun STREAMED up all of the cross streets. A beautiful thing.
