NYC will have a PARTIAL Eclipse. Two safe ways not directly looking at sun with your back towards sun:
A pinhole camera with cardboard with a center pen point size puncture and a dark stiff paper / cardboard behind the pinhole.
Or
Take your binoculars and invert with cardboard shield over one lens (front) onto a dark or light stiff paper or cardboard. Shield acts as a light block.But first cutout a stiff cardboard that fits over the front lens of the binoculars.your shield.
See this link for pics and BE SAFE! SUN Can blind you!
