Solar glasses, playlists, beautiful weather...all we need now is a little food and drink to celebrate the eclipse.
The Boston Stoker, a local coffee shop advertised a Moon Pie latte and Eclipse iced tea. The latte was made with toasted marshmallow syrup, cupcake syrup, chocolate sauce, and topped with whipped cream and moon pie crumbles. Woah...a little too much sugar for first thing in the morning and too much caffeine for an evening dessert. I opted for the Eclipse tea, black tea with toasted marshmallow syrup, black berry syrup, topped with whipped cream. I asked for half syrup and the flavor was out of this world!
Dorothy Lane Market is always stellar when it comes to food and celebrations and had a fun eclipse centered food exhibit. The Oberon Eclipse beer gives a nod to another planetary moon. Oberon is the outermost moon for the planet Uranus. A couple of cheeses, New Moon Goat Cheese and Midnight Moon, brighten taste buds with their heavenly taste. And flowers! Eclipse Moon carnations with their otherworldly light and dark shades of purple bring an aura of a powerful connection to the broader universal energy around us.
I'd say your area was ready for the big day!
