Manhattanhenge
Forums:
<<Manhattanhenge, also called the Manhattan Solstice,[1] is an event during which the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the east–west streets of the main street grid of Manhattan, New York City. The sunsets and sunrises each align twice a year, on dates evenly spaced around the summer solstice and winter solstice. The sunset alignments occur around May 28 and July 13. The sunrise alignments occur around December 5 and January 8. Excellent places for viewing Manhattanhenge are 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd, and 57th Streets.[2]

I took this in SF in 2017 the day after HSBF. The fires year. Not near as cool as yours, but it reminded me of the shot.
My favorite (and last?) NYC sunset was from the top of the World Trade Center the evening of the Iranian hostage ticker tape parade we went to in January, 1981.
