Upwards of 7,000 people are expected to gather at Green-Wood alone to view the eclipse, volunteer Alice Teple, 45, said, adding that she thinks people are drawn to the area because of its unique history as both a graveyard and a Revolutionary War battle site.
The eclipse is expected to begin in the city around 2:50 p.m., with 90% of the sun being obscured by the moon around 3:25 p.m. By around 4 p.m. the show will be over for New Yorkers.
