If you’re a fashion enthusiast, you won’t want to miss Batsheva’s Soho storefront debut.

New Yorkers will have the opportunity to witness a partial solar eclipse from around 2:10 p.m. to 4:36 p.m. To make it even more memorable, head to The Edge at Hudson Yards, the highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere. Standing 1,100 feet in the air, The Edge offers stunning views of the city and will provide visitors with solar eclipse glasses. You can also toast to this epic occasion with a special cocktail. Just remember that the maximum viewing will be at 3:25 p.m., when 90 percent of the sun will be obscured by the moon.

If delicious seafood is what you’re after, look no further than Penny, located above Claud, an East Village hot spot.
