Where to look
At 1:57 PM the Sun is towards the north-northwest, 32° above the horizon. That is high enough to clear most buildings, so an open street, a balcony or a terrace facing that way will do.
What you will notice
During totality the sky darkens like late dusk, the corona appears around the black Moon and the brightest planets come out. The air often cools by a few degrees. Totality is the only time you can take your eclipse glasses off. Put them back on as soon as the first bead of sunlight returns.

Viewing safely
Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, never look directly at the Sun without suitable solar viewing protection. Eclipse glasses should comply with ISO 12312-2. Cameras, binoculars and telescopes need purpose-made filters fitted over the front of the optics.
