The cross streets in midtown Manhattan run due east/west. At these timej of the year the sun appears exactly between the "sky scrapers". It's called Manhattanhenge.

Thanks for the info. It would take a lot more than that to make me want to go to NYC. I would rather go see the real thing.

Here in Hawaii, the only U.S. state south of the Tropic of Cancer, we have a phenomenon called "Lahaina Noon" when the sun appears directly overhead so that vertical objects have no shadow. This occurs on 2 days a year as the sun's path through the sky approaches its northern most point, the summer solstice, and then again when it moves south towards the winter solstice. Makes for some interesting photo ops.

Do any of the ‘crossed’ streets run due North-South, so that the Sun is centered at High Noon (1 pm daylight time, 12 pm standard time. This will be critiqued on the basis of the longitude of New York.
