Rainbow Over New York Followed by a Pot of Gold in Lower Manhattan
Every night at 7 PM in New York City, citizens have used their roofs, balconies, fire escapes, windows, and public parks to praise the impossible job that healthcare and other medical workers have been doing over the last few months.
Just as the praise ended on April 13, 2020, a gorgeous, full-color rainbow appeared over the city.
A crazy beautiful rainbow from the top of One World Trade Center to the top of the Empire State Building as the sun set tonight in New York City.

Right as the cheering died down in Jersey City at 7PM tonight, a rainbow appeared outside our window over the Hudson. Made me cry. Tough week. Stay safe everyone. pic.twitter.com/Y8AmltWwaQ

As the rainbow over NYC ended, the setting sun turned the buildings turned lower Manhattan into a proverbial pot of gold. Photojournalist Gary Hershorn captured this incredible moment.
