The pyrotechnics from Macy’s may not be happening for a few hours yet, but last night, Mother Nature put on a fireworks show of her own across Manhattan, with lightning dancing on rooftops, followed by a spectacular sunset. Here are a few photos and a video from The Lo-Down staff and readers Ming Lok and Dyske Suematsu.
