New York, United States

Manhattan's tilted street grid is the most famous example of urban sun alignment on the planet. The east-west cross streets line up with sunset twice each year (and sunrise twice more), and CityHenge tracks every aligning street in the five boroughs — not just the days the crowds gather for.
