What makes a good sunset in New York?
New York sunset quality depends heavily on humidity and air mass. Post-cold-front days in fall produce the sharpest light, with the Manhattan skyline from DUMBO or the Hudson River piers looking razor-clear. Manhattanhenge, around May 29 and July 12, aligns the setting sun perfectly with the Manhattan street grid — one of the most sought-after city shots on the East Coast.
