Remember high school math, where you learned the meaning of “Pi” was something other than a delicious pastry filled with fruit or meat? Now Pi has its own holiday — appropriately held annually on March 14th in nod to the number, which values approximately 3.14.
What was once celebrated just by ‘math geeks’ getting together, now has gathered momentum with all types celebrating the number pi. Appropriately, March 14th is also Albert Einstein’s birthday. Some of our favorite luxury hotels have merged geek and luxe with inventive packages just for the day. We’ve listed a few of our favorites offering these “ultimate nerd day” deals, below:
