The Amateur Astronomers Association of New York hosted the premier New York City viewing session for this once-in-a-lifetime event. The planet Venus passed in front of the Sun, in an event that won't happen again for 105 years.

Our premiere locations were at Riverside Park South out on the pier next to Pier I Cafe and on the High Line.
