Today is Pi Day, aka the day we use an infinite number as an excuse (not that you need one) to gorge on sweet + savory pies.
For anyone who needs a geometry refresher, pi is the result of dividing the distance around a circle by the distance across a circle. The result is an irrational number, most commonly represented as 3.14, though its full value stretches into infinity.
So grab a plate, a fork, and a seat — we’re rounding up spots to celebrate this Pi Day.
