According to the Roosevelt Island FDR 4 Freedoms Park:

On July 12, Four Freedoms Park Conservancy will open the gates of FDR Four Freedoms Park after-hours so that visitors can take advantage of Manhattanhenge. Twice a year, the sun sets perfectly in line with the New York City street grid, creating this spectacular light show.
