Known as Manhattanhenge, the phenomenon happens when the sun sets directly between Manhattan’s east-west streets, turning the city into long glowing corridors of light just before sunset.

When New York City Starts Feeling More Like Summer Than Spring
Mid-May is usually when New Yorkers start acting like it’s summer before the season officially arrives. Not all at once. Just in small ways that slowly take over the city. By mid-May, New York City starts shifting into a different rhythm, as longer evenings, outdoor routines, and warmer nights begin making the city feel closer to summer than spring. Suddenly, nobody seems in a hurry to go home after work anymore. Rooftops start filling up on random weekdays. Parks stay crowde

There isn’t a moment where New York suddenly “switches” into May. It’s more like you start noticing small things during the day — and then realize they weren’t there a few days ago.

Or walking past a park and seeing people already sitting on the grass in places like Washington Square Park — like it’s part of their routine, not
