Manhattanhenge!
At 8:17 PM TONIGHT!!! What is it?
"For 15 minutes around sunset on two days this summer, the sun will set in exact alignment with the cross streets of Manhattan's street grid, making the city's towering buildings function something like a modern-day Stonehenge.
They call it Manhattanhenge."
Read more here and here.
Sorry for the late notice!

GAAAAHHH! I WANNA LIVE IN MANHATTEN NOW!!! D8
MANATTAN IS AWESOME! I WANT TO LIVE THERE!
Beautiful! Thank you so much; those pictures are incredible.
Next book????
that is sooooo cool! i love new york! first secret underground cities, and now this!!!! too bad i'm stuck in the suburbs in the middle of nowhere. :(
Cool! Does this happen every year?
I wish I were in Manhatten right now...
It must be quite breathtaking in person. It looks lovely in the pictures. =)
Too bad I am not going to be in NY then :( .I wish I was!
I just got home, BUT I SAW IT!!! it was beautiful by the way,
but the sun was my eyes so i couldn't look for long, it reminds me of those fake New York ads more than Stonehenge
i'm jealous...>:(
Kewl. I'm trying to think if we have anything aweseomtacular like that around where I live ...
i know this is completely off topic and random, but i gotta know. have u seen the policeman who pulled a bus with his HAIR??????!!!!!!!! if not, u gotta see it!!!! it's insane!!!! its on msn video!!! the dude practices by uprooting a tree every morning! his goal is to try to pull a PLANE with is hair next!!!!
P.S. BTW at the same place as the bus pulling hair guy, u can watch the world burping champion try to beat his record of 118 decibles (as loud as a clap of thunder) and u can witness a dude lift 1,100 pounds!
I was so relieved when I read that it was biannual...I thought it was like that thing where the moon is really bright every five years or something.
BTW, do you know where I can get information about Manhattan's hidden houses? I can't find anything online :(
Thumb Biter: Here's an article for you . . .

Oh yeah! I remember that article.
Also, whoops...I must have accidentally changed my name... :P this is Jin Ai.
thanks!
Oh good! I was hoping you hadn't disappeared. There are more articles at the NY Times. Just put "hidden houses" into their search box.
