Eclipse viewing spot/event?

I have glasses - just looking for a good local viewing spot. Seton Hall has something with the Physics dept but unfortunately it is only for students.

I'm not going to LSC. Any other ideas? 

Why not from wherever you will be this afternoon? I'm planning to sit on my front steps.

I'm thinking of viewing it from my front lawn.  You are welcome to join me.

using my sky guide app ( which is awesome!)

I thought I posted 3 screen shots?

Love the flame bursts licking out of the edges, oots!

I'm late to this thread, but not too late to post a snarky reply:

It turns out that the sun and solar eclipse was easily viewed from any location in the area.  

I really enjoyed the scene at the South Orange Library. Although solar eclipses are fairly infrequent (next one around 2024), I'm happy to pay taxes to support our public Library until then to host it and have residents share glasses with one another, and hand the pinhole view boxes (that they make in the children's room) to one another and to watch the short informational video and keep the NASA page projected on the wall throughout.

There was a guy hanging out on Vose Ave, just handing his "eclipse glasses" to everyone who walked by so they could look at it.

Today, we witnessed a demonstration of our significance in the universe, and performed a demonstration of our significance as a community.

Thanks JerseyBoy..A friend watched the eclipse at the 9/11 memorial and posted the following.  It's how I feel about the viewing at SOPL today...

If you think this was about the sun, you missed the point. It was about sharing one American story that was a story involving coming together, rather than falling apart

I like them both, but I like mine better.

I was concurring with you Jerseyboy, not completing

For us, it was a family do-it-yourself science event in the yard. We supplemented pre-purchased glasses with a big pinhole box viewer, sheets of cardboard with various sizes of punched holes, and even a Ritz cracker (which did well as a pinhole viewer!)

I love this! You rock!

I was at physical therapy.  One of the therapists had all of the patients and staff come outside and we all looked through his glasses. 

We  had an impromptu block party.  Lots of neighbors out with their glasses. One cereal box viewer.  Fascinating reflection in a neighbor's birdbath. 

Gotta love this.
