From the very top of One World Trade Center, One World Observatory can see just about everything in New York City. While up on the 102nd floor, you can rent an iPad which has a special app on it containing augmented reality bits of information over the skyline you are seeing, plus these short, informative videos telling you what you are looking at. The One World Explorer app videos are now online, and in this one, learn some of the history of Greenwich Village in just 36-seconds.

Manhattanhenge, where the setting sun aligns perfectly with the Manhattan street grid, is happening later this month. Neil deGrasse Tyson offers us some viewing tips:

For best effect, position yourself as far east in Manhattan as possible. But ensure that when you look west across the avenues you can still see New Jersey. Clear cross streets include 14th, 23rd, 34th. 42nd, 57th, and several streets adjacent to them. The Empire State building and the Chrysler building render 34th street and 42nd streets especially striking vistas.

Part one of the 'henge starts on Memorial Day, Tuesday, May 29th @ 8:13pm with a half sun setting on the grid. The full sun sets on the grid the day after, Wednesday, May 30th @ 8:12pm.

Part two occurs a little later this summer, after an equal amount of days have passed after the equinox. Those dates are Thursday, July 12th @ 8:20pm with the full sun setting on the grid. The last chance to see Manhattanhenge this year is on the day after, Friday, July 13th @ 8:21pm with a half-sun.

Good morning! Wishing you a happy Tuesday , May 22nd, 2018 from all of us at Viewing NYC!
