Sunday was one of only two occasions this year when the Sun sets in exact alignment with the Manhattan grid, fully illuminating every single cross-street for the last fifteen minutes of daylight. Paul and I walked down to 56th Street and stood with a few other observers and watched as the shadows moved across the buildings and at exactly 8:25 the sun was exactly in line with the street. While a very simple thing, it was one of those things that only happens in New York.

i'm glad you took my advice and posted about this (not that you weren't going to anyway)!
you forgot to mention that it's also one of two times in the year where if you happen to be driving on a westbound street in manhattan at exactly 8:25, you'll be blinded for life!
You are so New York, mom. I love it.
it's probably one of the only 2 times this year dad will be awake past 8:25! jk.
