Solar Eclipse 2024: Where to Eat in the Path of Totality
On Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse is expected to be one of the most exciting celestial events in years. This spectacular visual phenomenon will see the moon completely covering the sun, casting a shadow on Earth and plunging a large swath of the country into temporary darkness.
Known as the path of totality, this vast area stretches from the southwestern regions of Texas all the way up north to Maine. The event will last four minutes in these places, giving much of the country a unique opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of this natural spectacle in its full glory.
Needless to say, many people are traveling to those areas of totality for a better view of the event, and if you're one of those people—or, you're a local—then you're probably looking for a prime spot to take in the spectacle, and maybe grab something to eat and drink while you're at it. So, we rounded up some of the best restaurants in these places.
Whether you're looking for a casual spot with outdoor space that's hosting an afternoon eclipse event, or are looking for a lauded spot for dinner the night before or after, here's a a wide-ranging list of great restaurants where you can commemorate this memorable occasion.
