New Yorkers and visitors gravitate towards parks with fountains on Friday, June 29, 2012, the start of a very long Independence Day weekend, like the fountain in Washington Square Park, in an effort to cool off. Today was the first day of a forecast heat wave with the temperatures in the Northeast topping 90 degrees. ( © Frances M. Roberts)
