New York's Bravest
New York's Bravest will forever be heroes to most of us, not only because so many made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11, but because they are heroes every day. When our kids were young, the firefighters were never too busy or preoccupied to give a cheery wave as their truck passed by. We saw them often at our local grocery store (boy, do those guys know how to fill a cart!) and they always took a moment to respond to the kids' questions. Once, they even brought one of our boys out to the truck to stop a particularly nasty temper tantrum.
Needless to say, kids just love the folks at the FDNY. If you have a child who is especially enamoured, why not make a day of celebrating firefighters together? Start at the New York City Fire Museum in SoHo where you'll learn about the history of firefighting. Then head over to the Fire Zone in Midtown to hop on a real firetruck and learn about fire safety. End your adventure at the Firehouse tavern on the Upper West Side.
