Manhattanhenge! Where the demons dwell, and the banshees live, and they do live well!
Yes, last night was the magical twice-yearly summer event of Manhattanhenge, when the stars and planets perfectly align and the sun sets perfectly down the east-west streets of the Manhattan grid. What does it look like? Check out some pictures of this year’s ‘henge, and those of years past!
