Photos: How New Yorkers Viewed the Eclipse Downtown

Despite Lower Manhattan’s general global dominance, the neighborhood wasn’t the best place to view Monday’s eclipse — that distinction goes to everywhere in the path of totality, where apparently there was quite a show. But downtown workers and residents still came out in droves to witness the sun-and-moon meet-and-greet. And the sky got a little bit dark, right? Right?? 

Scope these fun photos from this week’s astrological event, and be sure to tag us on IG @downtownnyc or email us at [email protected] if you’ve got some pics to share with us! And mark your calendars for the next eclipse in the United States, which’ll happen in…2044. It’s never too early to have plans.
