Manhattanhenge 2026 will be visible across NYC tonight. Here's the forecast where to get the best views.
If you missed Manhattanhenge on Thursday, there's still an opportunity for you to see it Friday night.
The phenomenon happens when the sunset aligns with the New York City street grid.

The American Museum of Natural History advises five locations for the best views.
