Fun Fact Friday :)

We have made it to Friday of our first week with the new blog. We hope you are all enjoying it and encourage more to play, to show off your knowledge! Now we will leave you with a fun fact to think about. Have a sunny, safe, and relaxing weekend. With these few days off, go out into the city we love and enjoy what you see around you!

The Manhattan grid pattern produces an effect known as “Manhattanhenge” (like Stonehenge), on two days - around May 28th and around July 12th - sunset is directly aligned with the street grid pattern. This means the sun can be seen setting exactly over the centerline of every Manhattan street. A similar effect occurs during sunrise on two winter days, understandably less popular.
