I always find it funny that the summer ManhattanHenges (there are two, one as the sun's inclination increases and one as it decreases) are so celebrated, yet the winter versions of the phenomena (when the sun lines up with the city grid at sunrise) are ignored. As someone who used to have to drive uphill along one of Manhattan's streets during my winter morning commute, they were far more noticeable/annoying.
