unless, y'know, they gave all that up for Lent


From Wikipedia:
“ManhattanHenge is a semiannual occurrence in which the setting sun aligns with the east–west streets of the main street grid in Manhattan. This year it occurred on May 31 at 8:17 p.m. The term is derived from Stonehenge, when the sun aligns with the stones on the solstices.”

StoneHenge has become a religious symbol for Neo-Druidism, in appreciation of the Druid’s early practices of human sacrifice, sorcery and reincarnation. 
East 45th Street @ Third Avenue

Sounds a bit like Wall Street.
