While exploring the charming neighborhood of Greenwich Village in Manhattan, I found myself stepping into this park featuring a huge square marble arch and a central fountain attracting a good number of people obviously there to take advantage of the cool waters and escape the summer heat. The park is named Washington Square in honor of George Washington, the first president of the United States of America. The park is also adjacent to the New York University (NYU) campus and is surrounded by a number of NYU buildings. This square also draws a huge number of tourists being one of the many famous landmarks of New York City. I remember this park very well in the movie I Am Legend starring Will Smith with those zombies giving me quite a few good nightmares. Thankfully I did not photograph nor encounter any during my walk around that park.
You do get around. Nice shot.

Thank you. One of my patients told me she used to hang out here when she was a student in NYU…she is 94 years old. And like you, this was one of her favorite spots in this vibrant city.
