A total solar eclipse is coming to the U.S.—but not everyone is invited. On Monday, April 8, the moon will be close enough to Earth to appear just larger than the sun as it crosses its disk, casting a shadow that will move across the planet at about 1,500 mph.

Ninety-nine years ago, there was a landmark total solar eclipse in New York City. It split the city into two—the haves and the have-nots—with those to the north of 96th Street glimpsing a totally eclipsed sun and those to the south merely seeing a partial eclipse.

Leading up to April 8, cities in the eclipse’s path of totality prepare for an influx of tourists. But, even with some extra traffic for airports and airlines, operations likely won’t look too different.

In gearing up for the 2024 Solar Eclipse, food and beverage related businesses in destinations along its pathway have been creating celebratory drinks to mark this celestial event. These companies are developing beers and drinks to be enjoyed leading up to and around this space phenomenon.

The total solar eclipse that will sweep across North America on Monday, April 8, is set to draw crowds from across the continent and beyond. The prize—darkness in the day and a view of the sun’s corona with your naked eyes—is everything, but it’s only open to those inside the 115-mile wide path of totality. You have to be in it to win it.

Deciding where to see the total solar eclipse in New York is difficult when there are so many spectacular options. The path of totality—just 110 miles wide—crosses the state's northwest, home to the vast minority of New York's 20 million people.

Even as we travel around the globe, it’s easy to forget that our planet is part of a much larger celestial dance. Sure, we mark the orbit of the Earth around the Sun each year, but nothing reminds us that we are part of something much bigger than the experience of watching the Moon slide in front of the Sun during a solar eclipse. 

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will sweep across areas of North America.

Winter is coming: Bring it on, say Canadians, who revel in the thrill and magic of the season. Visitors eager to experience the winter months (which in some regions can last from November to April) are always delighted by the expansiveness of nature and intimacy of culture, the ease of engaging in outdoor and indoor activities, and ultimately the warmth of the Canadian welcome. Woven into the culture: Winter is part of the cultural identity of those living within Canada’s borders. According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, the Inuktitut dialect of Nunavik (Arctic Quebec) includes multiple words referring to snow and ice, from qanik (snow falling) to qinu (slushy ice by the sea). The Arctic Winter Games are a multi-sport and an Indigenous cultural event held every two years involving circumpolar peoples around the world. The 2022 Games were pushed to 2023 and held in Wood-Buffalo, Alberta. Yukon is a potential host in 2026.
