Solar eclipses happen every 1-3 years.

But the darkest shadow called the umbra only falls in a very tiny place, slightly bigger than a few Districts and that shadow moves in a line and those places experience total solar eclipse.

So next year there may be another solar eclipse but New York will not experience a total solar eclipse for a long time.

Also two-thirds of the earth is water so most of the time the umbra falls on the sea.
