What an immense privilege for the folks up in North America, where today got to experience an incredibly magical moment watching the total eclipse. It did start in Mexico and crossed the East part of United States to conclude in Canada.

Of course Instagram went crazy in the morning getting ready for the big event. Within the foodie pages we had some very entertaining posts and reels especially those with cookies, bagels, doughnuts and all rounded shaped food.

Here are some of the ones I’ve enjoyed. We know how creative New Yorkers can be!

“It is an authentic ritual, an expression of our sociality that distinguishes us around the world,” said Gian Marco Centinaio, agriculture undersecretary, confirming the application had been submitted.

Caffè Vergnano and Lavazza are two big international brands to come from Turin. A city that became the capital of espresso at the end of 19th century.
