Reverse Manhattanhenge: what time can you see it and where

Exactly, at 6:59 in the morning this Wednesday, you will be able to see the Manhattanhenge phenomenon. For this occasion, because it is in winter, it is called “Reverse”, which also occurs twice during the winter season.

According to the New York City Parks Department, There are six areas of Manhattan that will be the best to enjoy the sunset:

  • 57th Street
  • 42nd Street
  • 34th Street
  • 23rd Street
  • 14th Street
  • Tudor City Overpass

In Queens, there will also be good visibility from the Hunter’s Point South Park, en Long Island City.

Phenomena like Manhattanhenge tend to attract crowds, so plan ahead to attend one of the streets and enjoy it comfortably.

If you miss this Wednesday’s event, the next Reverse Manhattanhenge will happen on January 11. Fortunately, you won’t have to wait long to see it.

The last Manhattanhenge had occurred on July 11 and 12 of this year. On those days, the sun aligned perfectly with the streets, around 8:00 at night.
