"It's so refreshing. It's really really refreshing, said another women. "I had to leave my jacket at work, because this morning was a little chilly and now its 80 degrees out, It's really nice to have this weather. "

For center city dwellers and workers, Rittenhouse Square offered the perfect setting for what some are calling the perfect day.

"I like that there's a lot of people around, it is a nice reprieve from the city but it is still in the city so you're not just isolated away," said one man enjoying the park.
