Among the jokes non-New Yorkers who are too far removed from New York City to actually understand its unquestionable greatness are things like: "Isn't stargazing in Manhattan just beautif-- oh wait. You can't see the stars, can you?"
They chuckle to themselves, sipping their sweet tea between bites of dried out biscuits the size of their faces. They think they're funny or something. Like they got jokes or something.
We're just like, who needs the stars when you've got an absolutely amazing sunset lighting the most famously gorgeous skyline in the entire world?
Those small, southern stargazers can all go kick rocks because yesterday's sunset destroyed Instagram with a veritable, viral cornucopia of absurdly awesome pictures.
Purple, pink, orange, a little blue, with the wind nipping at your fingertips, and it finally feeling like it should have felt the entire month? Um, yeah. We can dig that.
Whether you were scoping out from across the Brooklyn Bridge, shivering on a stroll through Washington Square or Battery Park, or just looking out the window of a car on the GW, everybody got more than just a little glimpse of this amazing city at its most epically beautiful.
Here are some of the best shots of the day caught from a number of different vantage points, and here's to a future filled with more sunsets of its kind; the ones you can only get in NYC.
