New York City shoppers and sightseers got the chance to beat the summer heat yesterday at Columbus Circle. Those who were taking a stroll near Central Park yesterday were surprised to see a large plastic dome, set up on the sidewalk, set up by Electrolux. The appliance company along with Kelly Ripa, promoted the latest Electrolux French Door Refrigerator by creating the perfect temperature Electrolux dome in the middle of New York City. Ripa, host of Live With Kelly and Michael, helped show off the company’s Perfect Temp fridge and gave out samples of her favorite summer treats and drinks.

We sat down with Ripa to talk about her involvement with Electrolux and dish about her favorite summer meals and activities.
