Spencer Platt—Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) and [Chris Wilson](https://time.com/author/chris-wilson/) Apr 6, 2024 10:10 AM UTC While New York City isn’t in the path of totality for this eclipse, a partial eclipse (89%) will be visible starting around 3:25 p.m. That is enough reason to head to the [Top of the Rock](https://www.rockefellercenter.com/events/top-of-the-rock-solar-eclipse-viewing-party/), a.k.a. the roof of Rockefeller Center, and take in the view of the city and the sky above. [One World Observatory](https://www.oneworldobservatory.com/tickets/?promoCode=solareclipse), which boasts the highest observation deck in the Western Hemisphere, is also planning an eclipse party. For those looking to commune with nature during the celestial event, [Shirley Chisholm State Park](https://parks.ny.gov/events/event.aspx?e=200-38495.0) in Brooklyn is hosting a low-key — and free — viewing party on the banks of Jamaica Bay. The [Brooklyn Botanic Garden](https://www.bbg.org/visit/event/eclipse%5Fcommunity%5Fevent) is hosting a gathering as well, inviting folks to watch the sky among the flowers. Alternatively, [Wave Hill](https://www.wavehill.org/calendar/solar-eclipse-viewing-party) in the Bronx is throwing an eclipse party overlooking the Hudson River. In case of inclement weather, the party moves indoors with a livestream and access to historic Wave Hill House. To watch the eclipse from the water, set sail with [Classic Harbor Line](https://sail-nyc.com/public-events/) for a cruise along the Hudson. Anyone contemplating their place in the universe can head to [Green-Wood Cemetery](https://www.green-wood.com/event/solar-eclipse-2024/) for a viewing party and sound bath. The scientists at both the [New York Hall of Science](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nysci-eclipse-watch-party-tickets-854514534977?aff=oddtdtcreator) in Queens and Manhattan’s [American Museum of Natural History](https://www.amnh.org/calendar/solar-eclipse) are hosting astronomy-themed parties. _Note: The times in this simulation might differ from other sources of eclipse data by a minute or two. The discrepancy is most likely a small difference in the precise location of the calculation or a slightly different way of accounting for the time it takes the speed of light to travel from the sun to the Earth._ [_Read more about our interactive here_](https://time.com/6963248/total-solar-eclipse-map-places-view-2024/)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6963167/what-time-is-solar-eclipse-new-york-city/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6963167/what-time-is-solar-eclipse-new-york-city/"},"headline":"When to Watch the Solar Eclipse in New York City","datePublished":"2024-04-06T10:10:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T12:52:27.661Z","description":"A total solar eclipse is crossing the U.S. on April 8, 2024.
