I watched with my kids and we saw the sun get blocked at around 3pm EST, presumably by the moon, and it got darker in NY but not complete darkness though. Not as dark as it shows in photos of previous eclipses. I don't think the eclipse is all it's cracked up to be. To me, it was much more enjoyable seeing Mars from my bedroom window a few years ago. It looked very close and it was awesome. And I was able to look at it for a long time. It looked like 2 moons, but their colors were different.
