On Monday, a total solar eclipse will captivate North America as the moon’s shadow traverses from Mexico to Canada. While most of the continent will witness a partial eclipse, lucky stargazers along the path of totality — or those who travel to it — will experience a truly celestial spectacle.
To celebrate this rare event, several restaurants are offering unique flavors and promotions that are out of this world. Check them out below.
