![Pi Day](/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Pi-Day.jpg)

Friends, neighbors, Slopians, lend me your ears. St. Patrick’s Day may be Sunday, but today, TODAY, is a day of awakening. Today is [Pi Day](http://www.piday.org/?ref=bklyner.com).

The official Pi Day website explains that, “Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159.”

It’s a day to show the world that mathematics can be fun. (*Editor straightens her glasses, and gives a snorting laugh*).

Seriously, though, who doesn’t love Pi? Pi is irrational. Pi is transcendental. Pi will continue through infinity and beyond. Pi is good.

**In honor of Pi, we’ve put together a list of South Slope ways to celebrate:**

• Run and/or walk around Bartel-Pritchard Circle. You could also kick it up a notch and carry Pi placards (hang on to ’em tight, though…it’s crazy windy outside).

• After you spread the pi love around Bartel-Prichard Circle, walk over to the [Pavilion](http://www.paviliontheater.com/?ref=bklyner.com) and catch a showing of Oz the Great and Powerful. We have a feeling that the Wizard of Oz was totally into pi. How could he not be? There’s a giant circle in his name.

• Nosh on some circular food. Grab a crepe from [Crespella Caffe](/blog/business/time-to-get-your-crepe-on-crespella-opens-on-8th-avenue), a black and white cookie from [Leske’s](/blog/food/how-sweet-it-is-leskes-opens-south-slope-location), a bowl of soup from [Naidre’s](https://www.facebook.com/NaidresCafe), or a pie from [Luigi’s Pizza](http://www.yelp.com/biz/luigis-pizza-brooklyn?ref=bklyner.com).

• Visit the [Park Slope Branch Library](http://www.bklynpubliclibrary.org/locations/park-slope?ref=bklyner.com), and have a little Einstein education session (the genius celebrated his birthday on 3/14).

• Finally, amaze friends with the knowledge that 3.14 backward spells PIE.
